Tex, the MAX depth of cut with the majority of end mills is .5*D D being Diameter of the EM.

It is a screenshot of a milling simulation...I've replaced 1mm endmill with a 1/16" endmil to check out whether the clearance between the hexagonal pins is sufficient to allow use of a larger endmill...since simulation has not finished properly (it is obvious that all the pins are not machined properly) one would have to use 1mm endmill....
Of course, this could be done by pure measuring the clearance on a 3D model, but it seemed easier just to change a tool in a simulation.
The fact that max depth cut is .5D is very disappointing....
...means that those pins are to be machined in 10 levels at least...making those pins is definitely a bad idea.
