I agree with Bill on the use of 2 flute end mills as most are designed to bore a hole without a pilot hole. Most 4 flute end mills cannot do that and chip extraction is better with a 2 flute.
I have used my mill mostly for making slots in small wood pieces that would be difficult on a router table or with a handheld router. And if you work with small pieces of wood that need their thickness cut a fly cutter on a mill can safely do that whereas planers and thickness sanders have a minimum length requirement. Just remember to use a collet and not a drill chuck when using any end mill cutter.
