Not sure what section this goes in so i'll put it here.
I need to turn a few press fit heatsinks and I know there's an easier way to cut the diode pockets than with normal tooling.
So my question is about end mills. Is the sizing on end mills the resulting diameter or the tool diameter?
Meaning if I plunge mill the pocket with a 5.6mm end mill, will I get a 5.6mm hole, or a larger one? and should thusly use an undersize end mill?
