Yes, that is what I meant. Obviously the shank diameter must be no greater than the cutter dia. I have not had any burning problems, but that is not to say it can't happen. If you cut down to the maximum depth of the cutter flutes, clean out any rout-dust and cut with afairly fast feed I think you will find it does work. I use a down spiral cutter to push the "swarf" downwards, which means it is not being forced up between the cutter and the groove sides. If doing this always stay with the machine whilst cutting just in case it starts to burn. G.
