Hi Ken,
As you probably know, the specs on your mill say 30mm (1.2”) is the max face milling capacity. Of course, that’s going to depend on DOC, feed rate, HP, ad infinitum, but I suggest you give LMS a call and ask to speak with Chris or Brandon. Both are very knowledgable about what their products are capable of doing and are more than willing to help.
I’m keeping an eye on this thread because I have been wondering the same thing as you about which style of face mill is “best” for what applications and if anybody knows, these guys do. I have a Super Fly that Mikey mentioned and it does a great job on my LMS 5500, but a guy can’t have too many tools.
