I may have introduced some confusion by referring to non trochoidal milling as "conventional". The normal definition of conventional milling is to move the tool opposite to the direction of the cutting edge while climb milling moves tool in the same direction as the cutting edge.
I believe it's the exact contrary. In conventional the cutter speed is in the same direction as the feed.
Climb milling is likely to add additional side force to the tool and would not be the best choice for small delicate endmills.
Climb milling is traditionally used for finishing because it generates less forces.
