I’ve been using up and down cut spiral end mills.
The down cut bits pack chips into my profile cut. A pita to clean out and I know that can’t be good for the bit.
The uncut bits frequently leave rough bottoms and usually fuzzy at the perimeter.
I’ve been doing a little reading about O flute bits. Can anyone dumb it down for me?
Will O flutes help with deep profile cuts?
Will they help give me smooth pocket cuts while efficiently removing chips?
