Abstract
A write pole of a data writer may have at least one rotational milling operation conducted on a write pole blank followed by first and second static milling operations executed at different first and second angles with respect to an air bearing surface. The combination of rotational and static milling operations can form a write pole with body and tip regions defined by a continuous pole sidewall extending perpendicularly from the air bearing surface up to a body taper portion angled at approximately 14.5° with respect to the air bearing surface.
