The chips aint too bad with a bit of warm milk!
I really do need to get them sorted out out and sold off. Had them for a while now and havent gotten round to it. Thats what I get for doing non paying jobs I suppose.
As others have said, looks like chip recutting.
Did you run a spring/reflex cut to finish? If not this may help tidy it up a bit, depending how deep the damage at the top is.
I have never heard this term before. Is it the same as finish pass? If so then yes it had a 0.2mm finish pass at full depth cut.Quote:

Silly question, but. What's the flute length of your cutter?
Have you tried climb milling on your finishing pass? G.
Oscar the cutter flute length is 27mm.
Geoffrey I would need to check the file to see how it was milled. Does climb milling improve the surface finish much?
That's ok then. It's not the shank rubbing.Quote:

Also if the cutter does deflect its pushed away from the part, leaving metal safe (nothing a spring cut wont sort out). Rather than conventional milling where the cutter can pull into the job making it undersized.Quote:
