    Straight Flute End Mills

    Hi All

    I have been battling to cut 3mm (1/8") MDF for my daughters doll house. I can't find reasonably priced downcut end mills SO i ordered some straight flute carbide end mills I found on eBay.

    I guess I could pepper the 1200x1200 MDF with screws but that would take TONS as the parts are small.

    SOOOOOO... will the straight flute help with that problem?

    Thanks in advance.
