Hi all,

I'm new to the ShopBot and CNC and need advice on selecting an endmill for a 2" deep pocket in 2.25" thick walnut. The pocket will be 4.5" by 4.5" by 2" deep.

I'm not even sure where to start. For example, should the endmill's length of cut be 2" or 2.5", given that the pocket will be 2" deep? And, how many flutes should the endmill have?


Thanks!

Chris
