    I haven't felt any disturbance in the force yet, I think you need to up the ante.
    Milling cutters start to perform around 3/4" diameter and up, anything less than that is squidgy

    Agreed.

    Just did some test cuts, 10m/min with 10mm endmill. 0.5mm Stepover (wimpy, im still testing) and around 20mm of depth. The surface finish is superb.
