Afterwards realized we set the offset wrong so the next day friday morning we did it again and then we got the expected result. The -0.1 was kind of snap fit but still a bit loose. -0.2 and -0.3 where more loose so these weren't qualified for snap fit. After that I wanted to try -0.05 and that worked even better than the -0.1. Because we could lift the wood partially without the snap fit getting loose and we still could get the piece of wood out. + + + +### Climb vs conventional milling +You can see a big difference in the edges with conventional and climb. Climb milling leaves a lot more dust and splinters on the edges. But as Neil explained climb is better when you're finishing a hole through. That will leave a clean hole. For surface cutting is conventional better. +![alt text](image-8.png)
