You may find one with a beveled edge, or a taper, to match the angle you need.<br /><br />The common method would be to mount the part so it can be milled flat, or angle the head, if that isn't possible. Another option would be to mount the part so the cut would be vertical, so it could be done with the side of the bit. This would be done better if you could align it with the X or Y axis, so you don't have to deal with the possible inaccuracy's of your cnc angle plotting. Better finish, if nothing else. Well, that's if you can turn a bit that is large enough to have the needed bit length/extension.<br /><br />Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-30305274191812066872015-11-07T02:24:24.037-07:002015-11-07T02:24:24.037-07:00I was trying to cut a diagonal, and I had been led...I was trying to cut a diagonal, and I had been led to believe by a friend that a square end mill would leave steps.
