Round inserts are nice if you have the power and stiffness to use them.
Only in desperation would I use a fly cutter simple because of the
unbalanced load.
Because of their radius the round inserts will give a nice finish.
Have fun.

I've been surfacing a casting that is larger than my machine envelope. Not only

I found LinuxCNC easy enough to use for this. Just kept resetting x or y home
and restarting the G_code.
Anyone used one of these?

Alternatively since I use the Tormach Tooling at a much higher price there is
this flycutter.
