[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 633775, member: 17844"] I don't agree with that advice especially for small weak cutters. The only dovetail cutter I ever broke was when climb milling just to see how it went and it did not go well. Small light mills have little control of table drag during climb milling so the cut can suddenly increase to overload if the back lash allows the table to jump . Try conventional milling and see what you think . I tried both and don't climb mill dovetails anymore on a small machine with light cutters . [/QUOTE]
