metalworking pillar drill experiences

I'm intrigued by the pot comment - did you hear me say 'log' or are you saying it is worth clarifying ?

No as I said in my post I said, you did not say log. But I mentioned it because if anybody used a log pot it would then not be a linear line for the speed increase.

Ok understood. I may mention it in a future video anyway in case someone buys a log pot and wonders what is going on.

RE: Machining 1050 plate it's better to cut thru it in a single pass using a slot mill rather than trying to mill it away.

If you have roughing cutters they work best. I cut all my Z-axis covers and Timing belt covers etc ready for folding and welding with either 6mm or 8mm roughing cutters.

I don't have any roughing cutters but OK I'll get some and try it next time I have some panel work.
Also for some reason in the last reply my 'thumbsup' symbol came out as '??' which kind of changed the meaning of my reply! Not sure what happened there or if my browser is at fault or it is because it was from my phone.

Trying again - OK that seems to have got it.
