    Machinist...how do you know the feed rate of your mill table?

    2000rpm on a 1/4" tool is only 131fpm, that's pretty slow already. I'd wager chip re-cut to be your primary issue. Use a little WD-40 on the tool to keep it slippery and an airline to keep the chips clear. How did the cut sound? It should be a nice, even noise. If it sounds erratic you're...

    Got a Snap On YA642

    Boring Motor Pulley for Air Compressor
