[PROJECT] Clamp Knurling Tool

[TomG]

Greg,

When plunge milling, you start off the edge of the part with the stop set to depth, then plunge the end mill to depth, moving over as much at a time as the mill will comfortably handle. Be sure to climb along any critical edges, so any flex will move the cutter away from them. It's just a method of removing a lot of metal in a hurry without generating a lot of heat.

I was going to point out a video with it in use, but it looks like Ed beat me to it. :)
