I cut most stuff with my mill these days.

How?


Let's say that I want to cut a pipe, I put it in a vise and cut it
with an endmill.


So you have e.g. a 1/2" kerf?


On one end, yes, as big as the end mill. The other end (that is held
in the vise) is clean.


This is similar to how I cut 2x4s. I lay on them with a belt sander until
it sands right through.
