Put short description in proper place like Wikipedia does (see red text in page)
 * Milling machine tooling Overview
 * Consider renaming Different Mill Cutter to Milling Cutters
 * Remove End Mills Section (collapse into 'Different Mill Cutter' section)
 * Don't capitalize "Stock" in Gear Cutter description
 * End Mills
 * Move the description to Mill end out of the table and put it before the table as sort of an introduction
 * Remove Mill end and 6 Flute End Mill from table
 * Describe the 'Flute Diagram' in more detail
 * Rounded Edge End Mill are also/typically know as "Bull Nose End Mills". Include this in your description.
 * Consider renaming Rounded Edge End Mill to "Rounded Edge (Bull Nose) End Mill''
 * Facing Types
 * Change Facing Types to "Cutters"
 * Condense the three fly cutter pages(Square tool bit flat,Fly Cutter and the other one) and the into a single entry
 * on Fly Cutter don't say that a fly cutterdoes not do as smooth of a job. This is not correct


 * Cutter Material Identification/ Selection
 * Change/ remove Lathe Speeds
 * Add that Carbide is stiffer (doesn't deflect as much) and is better for hard materials
 * Add section on Carbide and tools

Overall nice job. Check text for correctness and completeness.

Add section about centercutting and non-centercutting endmills selection and identification

 * Description:
 * See Developers' Bulletin for proper formatting and content
 * Add an overview of the differences of the basic types of tools. For all types, refer to
 * http://www.mcmaster.com/#milling-cutters/=mycaj3
 * Include information about calculating speeds and feeds, reference machinist handbook or other sources as necessary


 * End Mill Types:
 * Consider section title change to End Mills:
 * Use Item/Setup table: Developers' Bulletin
 * include all cutters found here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#end-mills/=mycaju


 * Add section for Cutters
 * include all cutters found here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-milling-cutters/=mye8wt
 * Use Item/Setup table: Developers' Bulletin


 * Facing Types:
 * Eliminate section, as it will be absorbed into Cutters


 * Pictures
 * Make sure the follow the guidelines found here: Developers' Bulletin
 * Make sure they are the correct orientation.

The above contents are mainly for formating, I will check content Wednesday. From a quick glance, the content looks mostly complete, but make sure to check with other sources such as the machinist book, McMaster, wikipedia, etc for a second check. Also, remove 'This is the...' as the name of the tool will be included image caption
