Nice...thanks.

I like the idea of squirting with WD40...hopefully that'll help with the noise. In the light of what you're experience is, I'll also back off on the depth of cut, but then crank up the feed rate a little.

John,

that's a good tip about the single flute...I figured more = good, but what you say makes sense (that said, most end mills I see on Ebay seem to have 3 or more flutes?)


Cheers,
Hank.
