Subject: Isolation milling - what do the cutters look like to do it?

From: "lcdpublishing" <lcdpublishing@...>

Hi guys,

Later this year (perhaps next year or whenever I get my machine done),
I want to give isolation milling a try. At first I thought a small
end mill would be the tool to use, but the more I thought about it, I
suspect that is not the case. After thinking about it further, I
believe it would make more sense to use a "pointed" tool shaped like
a 'V' or something. Does anyone know of some sources for the tool bits
that work good for isolation milling? Primarily, I would like to see
some detailed photos or drawings as I would probably attempt to grind
my own - seeing as Stefan got me thinking about that now ;-)

Thanks

Chris
