a wax
here is one cut as a final pass no rough cut pass was used ..6mm deep cutting with a taperd bit
the tool path took 50 min. to generate and 50 min. to cut.. by using a 'one step' cutting strategy you not only save yourselve milling time but also heck of a lot of time in tool path generating time

bit
no didn't break it .. probably my great photographic skills at work :P
jeff I wouldn't even do a surface pass just sink your bit into the wax a little then go for it (finish pass) you could go back with the final pass again with a ball bit or cylinder bit if you really needed to ...I would give it a go but as you know haven't used my rotary attachment... so I was showing what can be done for flat milling ..the speed I use for milling on my 40 are not that far off of what the 15 produces so I figured give it a try, the bit can handle it using the 40 again I figured it can handle the 15...
give it a try on a full ring and let me know how it goes...a typical speed I might use on the forty would be x-y 900 millimeter per minute (mpm) or 15 millimeter per second (mps.) spindle speed 8500 rpms so you can see not that far off
