Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I clamp on the cutter or the shank? A: You must always secure the tool by clamping onto the 3/8-inch smooth shank using an appropriately sized collet or end mill holder.
Q: Can I use this in my drill press? A: No, end mills require the rigid bearings of a milling machine; a drill press chuck cannot handle the lateral side-loads of milling.
