Thanks for the great find.

Glad you enjoyed it. I know I did.

I started to write about my experiences as a machinist and HSS and
tungsten carbide bits, but I needed to check some facts and I found
this article and learned a few new things, myself.

nb

then you of all people know that HSS is not as light duty as the lowes
chart claims.

HSS can do interrupted cutting, for carbide you need a different grade.

there's nothing wrong with good HSS.
