    Hi there! If possible, I'd like to acquaint myself with your experience regarding the maximum ADOC (axial depth of cut) for milling wood materials. There are several dependencies that I'd like to address:

    1) Primarily, the machining material is birch plywood.
    2) The RDOC (radial depth of cut) is set at 100% of the end mill diameter, similar to slot milling;
    3) For this example, let's consider an end mill with a diameter of 1/8;
    4) The flute direction can be straight, down, up, or compression;
    5) The end mill material can be any suitable material for wood processing;
    6) Number of flutes: 1 and 2

    I have had successful experience with a maximum ADOC of 1.5 times the bit diameter (1/8 in this case). I would like to know if it is possible to cut deeper and what would be the best reliable choice.
