Roughing, Climb only or both ways?

[crossthread82]

Not sure what's available as far as sizes, and I have nothing against the GWS endmills recommended by @crossthread82 but I've been using quite a bit of Garr's new A3 endmills. They don't offer them in coated, but they have a very high polished finish, and I haven't noticed any BUE. Check them out.

I haven't tried those but have been pretty impressed with the arc series from Garr.

Do you all feel that this applies to indexable tooling as well? I do a lot of roughing with large Ingersoll HiPos Alu cutters on a very large part, and spend a lot of time on transition moves.
