My sizes are out

If you had 1mm of backlash you'd feel it by shaking each axis, it would feel like it's falling off.!

Tell me about it!!
1 thing I'd say as well is I often use cheap nasty Chinese cutters for roughing through then swap a decent cutter for a finish.
Those Chinese ones can vary in size a chunk.
I can rough a new 6mm 3flute bit using it to finish as well and I won't fit a bearing in the hole.
Then next I'll leave 0.5mm on with the same cutter, swap it for a 4flute Cobalt bit for finishing and be able to just get the bearing in.
That's with my drawings modified where a circle is set 0.1mm lager than I actually want it.

My Benchtop only has 3000rpm at the spindle so I find Cobalt work better for me as I can hog it a tiny bit.
Those Carbide bits are designed for higher rpm and I've shattered a few so there used for finishing only too.
