Tip: If your setup allows you to plunge to cutting depth at the exit
point, doing so before making the cut that's producing tearout will
usually eliminate the tearout problem.
Corollary: If you have tearout at the beginning of a cut, try plunging
to your cutting depth with the center of the bit at the edge of the
stock.

Get one of these machines from Grizzly:
http://www.grizzly.com/products/G9959
420-5000 rpm. Only $2850. :-)
It'd be a fun toy to have, but I can't justify the expense.
Harbor Freight has a cute little mini-mill I've been considering.
It's probably the same as the one Grizzly has:
<http://www.grizzly.com/products/G9959>. It's pretty small, but
considering that I'm just tinkering and mostly making small toys for
kids, it might be good enough for me.

speed is not a big issue use a hss endmill and just be careful when
you exit the side grain that's when you can get blowout. other then
that it is not a problem. I don't usually change speed anymore if I am
not exiting side grain.

good idea. also using a rougher helps out too.
