I hate milling because the chips get everywhere.

Right away I made three LENOX Dimastar 2 blades to try them out.
I made three blades at 2.4 meters each from a 15-meter roll, so I used up about half of it.

With Aikoyama-style contour joining,

you get almost 100% success rate ★
The cutting edge isn’t remarkably sharp—it’s just normal, ordinary cutting edge.
But the durability might be good.

I was grinding away steadily today too…
With an uppercut, taking 0.2 mm per pass, nice and slow.
Removing 10 mm is tough, but getting it off is the real challenge…
