Milling starts with the realisation that I only have long-series end mills, and the largest one is pretty blunt.
We crack on anyway, to get a feel for it, test the setup, and try out the rotary table.
Learning about the state of the 3/8" mill, I press on with a new 1/4" cutter.
Shortly after I took this picture, and having spent some time sharpening a cutter, I broke the 3/8" mill by feeding it too hard. I pressed a dovetail bit into service and got a lot more material out.
