I discuss the basics of selecting the right cutter for the job, choosing feeds and speeds, and general setup and planning of CNC milling machine cuts.

use a small diameter cutter

know the diameter and the length of the cutter

use tungsten carbide tooling

push the cutter through the material

put the cutter down into the material

plunge more than half the diameter of the cutter

turn down the cutting speed
