I want to make a circular form tool out of a M2 HSS blank. A 3/8 radius for the handles on the float lock vise. I would like to make several for other projects. Is there any reason that I can't tilt the blank 5 degrees and feed a 3/4 carbide end-mill into the corner of it? There are some 4 and 6 flutes available on Ebay for around $40. Don't mine paying the price if I'm not going to ruin it. Any ideas about speed? I plan oh hand feeding it on a PM 30 mill.
Thanks inn advance!!! Charles
