This Pocketing Strategy Shouldn’t Exist

We pushed Kennametal's Harvi II TE end mill to the limit in STEEL with aggressive machining strategies that most machinists wouldn't dare attempt. Instead of replacing the tool, we're putting the exact same cutter back in our YCM C10's spindle to see just how much life it has left. Will it survive?
