On some plastics if you make a clean pass taking off between .002 and .005 with a conventional cut it leaves a smoother finish. It seems like the tools stay sharp longer if you climb mill. I reckon the tool skids a certain amount instead of cutting.
i don't get it. at 0:44, you say climb is when the blade is pulling itself along the material, ejecting chips behind it as you go. If you curved the material at 0:44 into a circle surrounding your bit, that bit would be moving anti-clockwise. Climbing is anti-clockwise. But at 1:56 you say climbing is clockwise. A clockwise spinning bit going clockwise around a pocket is going to eject chips in front of it. Sure seems like conventional to me.

Great video- on a Gantry Mill where the head moves - would the class milling directions change.
Thanks!
