    Flute length is small, maybe 3mm. I only need to cut down a maximum of 1.4mm though. It's HSS.

    Spindle speed, milling machine is 2150rpm...so very limited for this size of cutter. If I bolt the router spindle to the milling machine when I get it that will get 24000rpm - so still less than optimal but much better.

    Lubricant would be me standing there with a brush and cutting fluid. Maybe WD40 as it's thinner so should get into the flutes more easily?
