These are results from a guesstimated set of cutting
angles on a very limited range of workpieces. The angles don't seem to
be very critical but I've no idea whether they are near optimum. I've
yet to discover how well the tool performs on other work materials.
It's hardly a tool for the professional because of the low metal
removal rate. But for an amateur, a tool that takes light cuts and
consistently leaves a good finish can be a pretty useful item.

I think I've got the other end of that bit of steel :-)
A couple of questions - what machine are you using, and what cutting
fluid?
