Climb milling is the preferred method. The only reason to use conventional milling is for shoulder milling with big ap when there is a high demand on straight walls. With convential machining, using solid cabide tools, the cutter will bend towards the machined wall and will be supported by the wall and as a consequesnce, the bending will be reduced.
You can barely see chips coming out the far side, so it looks like climb milling.
Conventional, to the best of my knowledge, is best used when you have a workpiece with a hard surface, when you want better profiling accuracy as opposed to surface finish, and when you are making a cut where the cutter engagement is more than %75. Otherwise climb is superior.
-Better tool life
-Better predictability
-Better quality part
+more time
+less productive

Look free software for programming trochoidal milling (parameter based )

Isn't the chip going from thin to think to thin here? In another video I saw the best was from thick to thin..

@CNCconventional The mill is rotating clock wise, which generates a chip that goes from thick to thin, which we recommend.

were you climb milling that or conventional? would you climb trochoidal mill (or not) in all materials or just in tougher applications?
