Got it. Thanks.

I found some end mills that have 1" flutes.

They're currently in stock, and there's even a coupon code for free shipping: BSRFREE

These are pricier than the McMaster part but if the shorter flute length helps prevent damage to the jig and lower it will be a bargain, especially considering the backorder time now.
