    Advice needed on programming this part

    I'm programming this part on Citizen L20. Material is brass. My question is the .126 slot. I have 3 spindle gang turned so I can use T11-T13 on face of part. I have .125 end mill in T11. I am wandering if I should go with 3/32 end mill. If I do that what is the best way to program it so I can control size and location?

    Depends on finish really but most end mills run small, running a 1/8 EM will probably cut .124 or less. The bigger the end mill the more rigid. I would just run it, plus its brass. Location should be hard coded as it is on center...as for size I wouldn't worry with that tolerance and material.
