Thread: Will this end-mill plunge?

Without the flute extending to the centre it will not plunge and even if it did I would avoid plunging on a router as it puts a substantial force on the gantry, leading to reasonably large tool deflection. Does the hole in the end go all the way through? If so its purpose may be for flood coolant.
