I bought this bit a few years ago and fell in love with it. A little expensive, but the replaceable inserts are a real nice feature.

I'd have to go back and look, but off hand, I think around 15,000 RPM and 150 ipm? This puts the chip load at 0.005. I just looked and see that this agrees with the recommended feeds/speeds.

I only come on from time to time to make sure nobody is pissing on each other and I have to moderate some sh1t. Making skis? Who's got time for that?Brazen wrote:omg...you guys are STILL HERE?!?
(full disclosure, I saw the above mentioned expensive bit, and immediately ordered it... followed by the next size up, cause my CNC spoilboard desperately needs leveling)
