I am using .090 dia. 2.25 long end mills to spot face to establish a flat surface for a 2.0mm spot drill. I need to stick them out 1.25 from toll holder nut due to parts being on an angle, tool holder nut could hit the parts. you did not cover plunge milling with micro tools on the miniature tool video. Any tips would be awesome. thank you
