I am considering moving to end mills. Supposedly, you can go to 10-mil trace-and-space clearance with end mills and they make for a neater job.
Better buy a bunch of them.:) And you'll probably need to take a couple of passes. That small of an end mill won't tolerate slow spindle speed or spindle run out. Don't understand whats so hard about making a couple of straight cuts in scrap at different depths to measure. Good luck with your project.

I don't understand what makes you think, that I think it is hard to make some tests I was just wondering if someone could take a good guess at angle and size of the bit.
