this bit started as a .005 ball end/taperd 10 deg bit... I ran it too fast (15,15) and broke the tip, wasn't to crazy about this bit untill it broke (left alot of packed swarf) however, I've noticed alot of the bits that break leave apx the same size tip .4mm so I use them for my 'general' cutting needs instead of throwing them away I find them to be a good overall working bit size.. there excellent for your full speed deep as well.. you can always go back in with a good bit if you feel it's necessary but 98% of the time it's not needed
I ran as a .3mm, 10 deg conical, x-y speed 10, z speed 15, .05 stepover one pass final cut I think it took about 15-20 min to mill I didn't look at the timer button or the clock..
here is a good loupe to have around to measure brokin bits with, you can get one at stuller, it has a measuring scale built in..I take my brokin bits and file the end flat with a fine diamond file then polish the end on a flat suface like a rouge stick
