That's just about what it was in this case too. First we discussed options such as tilting the head 90º. I dismissed that because although the head can spin 360º, I don't like to run the higher speeds with the oils in the head seeping around inside.
Nine passes of 0.5mm on each side didn't take long at all, and the part was rigid enough that I probably could have used a good face mill in one pass.
