⑴ When the edge is grinded too much, usually problem like end mill will be damaged and
machining surface's precision is not good etc will happen. We suggest sharpening ASAP.

⑵ Shortening the edge length of end mill to the utmost within the allowed range, and improving
machine tools' installation rigidity, precision, are efficient solution to any problem.
