Re: Rough vertical surfaces
That's really far to be hanging that little endmill out. In general, you want to keep tools as short as possible. Also, is your tool relieved back? If the shank rubs, you'll get a crummy surface, too.
I agree with the above advice: use a bigger tool, and make a regular profile-type cut if you want smooth walls. If you do have to cut that sort of surface with a ball nose, my experience has been that making cuts one-way going down the surface (waterfall motion) will give you the best surface. That's because ball noses cut best towards the tip.
