You can't climb mill with it, but as long as you have at least 2/3rds of the cutter diameter engaged you should be OK with that. For less than that, be sure your cutter is to the right side of cutting path and workpiece to its left (conventional milling.)

Any idea when the new cutter and inserts will show up?

Thanks KEN

Will remember that important climb Milling bit.

They did tell me that the tooling will arrive tomorrow, Friday 03.20, 2015 hopefully, and that they will courier it to us the same day. I only hope I can make arrangements to collect the package on Saturday morning to be able to do some work over the weekend. It's a long shot, but I will only know when I phone them in the morning. We also hope that it's overnight service.

These Guys are authorised distributors recommended on the Walter web site, so we think they would be well experienced with these kind of ETA's and Delivery schedules. The only down side is that they are some 900 Kilometres away, only to tax our patience the more !!!
