Learn where radial rake is measured on a milling cutter, how solid and indexable geometry create it, and how it affects force, chip flow and edge support.

Compare positive and negative rake in end mills by cutting force, chip flow, edge support and rigidity, then choose from actual cutter geometry and setup limits.

Compare straight and spiral flute reamers by chip direction, through or blind holes, interruptions, material behavior, finish, and setup conditions.

Plan slot milling with an end mill by mapping slot geometry, full-width engagement, entry, chip evacuation, width control and deep-slot alternatives.

Set up side milling with an end mill, plan radial and axial engagement, run a proof cut, and diagnose wall taper, deflection and finish problems.

Diagnose an oversize reamed hole by checking measurement, bore shape, pre-hole quality, runout, tool wear, chips, coolant, and cutting conditions.
