Make sure your end mill has flutes long enough. I'm using 6mm bits and the flute length is only 15mm.

Good point, 25mm is quite long for a small shank bit.

True. My uncoated carbide 6mm bit also has a 15mm flute but the whole shank is the same diameter so I just go deeper.
If cutting by hand then use 2 flute spiral upcut which you can get in long flute lengths. Wouldn't use 3 flute by hand as you can't control the speed accuratly enough.
My preferred choice for Ali is 8mm 3 flute serrated edge roughing cutter followed with 2 flute with full depth finish pass.
Serrated edge rougher would be good choice for hand routing.
Thanks for the help all, will follow your tips when the time comes.

Hi Guys. It has been a long old while since I have been on here. I hope you are all keeping well. For one reason or another my CNC build has taken a back seat for a few years but I am hoping to get back to it...
Welcome back Joe :)
