Abstract
An end mill for simultaneously milling two intersecting perpendicular surfaces of a part. The end mill is subjected to side cutting loads causing side deflection of the end mill, with the result that both the side-milled surface and the end-milled surface are not cut true to the part. To compensate for end mill deflection, a cam arrangement is provided to adjust the position of the end mill.
