I've been too lazy to build and too cheap to buy shields too, yet seem to find the energy to do a clean-up after (almost) every job. Those that I don't, it was a job for one of my sons and they get to do the clean-up as payment for the work.
Yes, but I realised that there is more open space to the right of my mill than in your shop... At least these weren't hot!

The last two digits of the nomenclature define the maximum depth of cut, so an F2280.UB.051DC.Z03.04 is limited to 4mm (.1575") depth per pass without engaging a second edge. It'll do it though, if your machine has the power.
No BS - just ignorance as to the nomenclature. I gave it 2.5 revolutions on the knee crank, thinking it would be OK. My theory was that it was in aluminium and the 4042R shoulder mill with the much smaller inserts can take a 10mm cut (if I recall correctly). I know that I wouldn't have tried it in anything other than aluminium. Also, I had a witness.
Surely at .1575" you are engaging a second edge
