Default Miniature end mill help

Why do you want to run small HSS end mills? They are horrible. I use a lot
of 1/8" solid carbide end mills, they work WAY better than HSS. You can
watch the tip of the small HSS enc mills wandering around, the tool
deflection can equal the tip diameter in some cases. Makes horribly
inaccurate work.

Nothing like that happens here. LOL!
