This is going to sound silly, but what cutters or coating is going to have the best
life. I mostly work with aluminum and flood coolant which gives me quite long
cutter life, but I am working on a wood project and I am seeing results which look
like the cutter is getting dull about mid project.

(1/16 ball end cutter, and I need to finish with a 1/32 cutter)


It may be getting coated/clogged with resin from the wood. A soak
in Simple Green and then a toothbrushing could solve the problem.
