Abstract
A milling method includes moving a milling tool having at least two axially spaced apart sets of cutting inserts to an axial position within a bore in a material and rotating the milling tool about a longitudinal axis. The method further includes initiating contact between the milling tool and a wall of the bore in a region of the wall having a least amount of material at the axial position. The method further includes moving the milling tool around a perimeter of the bore.
