I used to use 1.0 ball mill and "3d toolpath" for that pattern. Since then, I've bought a used CNC tool grinder ANCA - Products, and a lot of support equipment, so I can manufacture my tooling in house. Could never find tooling wanted or needed to speed things up. Took 3.5hrs to cut with off the shelf tooling. Takes a little under 1.25hr with my tooling . Plus the hand finish is "considerably" less as well.
There's a million ways to do it. Which ones the fastest is going determine your profitability. And I'm in it to make money. So, why mess around trying make someone else's tools do what I want to do. Definitely had to step outside my "comfort zone" and invest a ton of money to accomplish everything I've done. But its all worked out alright, so far. Good luck.:cheers:
