something else to watch out for on the smaller end mills is a long - and therefor flexible - shank. chuck the tool up into the spindle as far as possible. this also reduces the effect of any small alignment errors between the cutter's ideal axis of rotation, and its actual (wobbly) rotation around the spindle axis.
