Assessing scrap metal
I'm just getting started with a small lathe and mill. I've collected a
number of scrap pieces of aluminum and steel for projects, but what do you do to assess the metal if you don't know the specifications? For instance, helpful advice on setting cutting speed if the subject is unknown...subtitle this "already broke one end mill." ---thanks, Cliff |
