Your concern about "skating, then hogging" is only a legitimate
concern with positive-rake, fairly dull tooling.


I'd venture to say that it applies in spades if cutting stainless
steel, which work-hardens as you cut it - you can't sneak up on a
final dimension there, IME.



Hmm , I have to disagree there , a lot depends on how fast you turn the
work . I've had times when I had to take less than a thou off of SS , and it
can be done with a very sharp properly ground 8% cobalt steel cutter M42?
