In this size range, you need a speed range of 50 to 2000 rpm. This machine does not have that. The better 1340 machines have a 12 speed spindle. A VFD is no substitute for gears.

I think the right answer is it depends on who is buying the tools. If it is your employer, go for it. If it is your machine and your tool cost .040" per pass is just fine.
