Quick aside: Seems strange to realize this so late, but the beginning of my problems lies with the turning of the plug. Even with the carbide tip on the Vega, I've been experiencing more tear-out than is needed. The problem seems to be that I've been going too fast and cutting too deep on the parts of the pass in initial contact with the template. Slowing down, cutting shallower and taking a nice, slow "finish pass" at the end is greatly reducing my filling needs, which speeds the whole finishing process up.
