Making some nice chips...
6mm, 25mm Flute. There is a bit of chatter when it goes Z- 10mm. But is holding up fine.
I used a 6mm carbide drill to pre drill the holes. Worked out really well. Only a hair width of gap between the endmill and the stock but never heard it cut anything when dropping into the hole.
The 6mm drill bit is pushing the machine a tad. Can see it flex at 0.2mm Feed per Revolution. Dropped it to 50% in Mach3 and it still flexed but very little.
