I am checking on the cutting edge. I slowly rotate the cutter in the V block to find the high spot. I am assuming that high spot is the cutting edge.Wmpy
2 questions on your measuring method.
1) The picture looks like you are measuring on the relief and not at the cutting edge. Where on the end mill are you measuring. A close up photo would help.
2) The picture shows you are measuring pretty close to the tip, are you on the tip radius?

I was pretty close to the tip, but I was careful to not check on the radius as I was worried about that throwing off my measurements. I also checked further up the tool and found similar results.
I will see if I can get a close-up photo.
