We use it exclusively with excellent results for most types of operations.

Also, I will second the necessity to use an "Adaptive" (aka: trochoidal, constant-engagement, "high speed") toolpath whenever possible when milling. It's highly preferred, for a variety of reasons.
Thanks for that! I've been looking for a tool just like this. It comes in handy when I think the Taig has HP (it only has 1/4 ).
