What's that Lassie? You say that Bob La Londe fell down the old
rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue

It ramps in at about 5IPM and finishes the pass at
20IPM. The cutter is turning about 15000 RPM.


That's about .0003 to .001 per rev. If a two flute cutter the
chipload is .00015 to .0005. Way too light.

Slow down the RPMs or speed up the feed.
Try for .003 -.005 per flute.

I'm guessing that you can't feed as fast as your RPM would require.

Sucks when you have one weak link in your chain.
