Tom,
Yes, it is one of the few pieces of stock in my stash that I bought in person from a reputable local supply house. I tried a couple of different types of cutting oil but found that no cutting oil gave me the best finish. It seemed very gummy and would gouge rather than cut.
I'll use those dull end mills for side cutting only since just the bottom .015" or so is dull.
