I'm wondering about the usefulness of an indexable end mill. Someone gave me one that takes TPG32_ inserts. Can it be used for all-purpose milling, such as truing or cleaning up surfaces, etc.? I'd appreciate comments and suggestions because I've never used one, before.
It would seem to be a way of saving the wear and tear of my conventional milling cutters.
On a whim, I also picked up an indexible end mill that takes negative rate inserts. I'm wondering if I made a mistake. Will a mill/drill be rigid enough to allow me to use it?
Thank you.
