    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.
