Help selecting mill bit

[MWF FEED]

Hi,

I'm helping a mate with his model railway. I need to mill quite a bit of brass (hoarded by my mate over the years) to build his loco shed. But never mind the details.

The brass ranges from 20mm x 5mm bar and lesser. The idea is to cut scale girders from these bars.

My little mill I only ever use for precision drilling. So my question is, would this be a suitable bit to buy for the purpose of both facing and depth cutting.

Thanks in advance.

Greg :)
