I just saw someone using a 1/4", 4 flute end mill in a trimmer router, freehand!! for carving. Serious stock removal... While this idea scares the $#!& out of me in a big way.. that someone suggested it makes me curious.. Anyone use end mills this way? in a router carving with the sides of the mill bit for freehand carving? From the photos, it looks like it is used like this in a conservative, careful manner...
The article came with a warning, that (obviously) this is a dangerous tool.. duh! but...
effective?
Scary, yes! at least having not tried it. Everyone says the table saw is scary... Routers are right up there too!
