Holy heck batman!! Maybe it started out as an endmill, but it turned into a plow!!

Yes, do it!

Nah, I'm halfway through a full pass. I need to finish it at a minimum. Then I'll see! Yes, but right now I want the job done. It's...

Hey, try your facemill now to see the results. If it doesn't work, then go back to your solid carbide endmill. No harm in trying, and...

I was also going to suggest 600 rpm, basically the speed you would run HSS in mild steel. I also prefer inserted cutters when size...

I've never shattered an insert. Using your 1/2" solid carbide, try 600rpm. But those sharp points will dull pretty quick and then it...

I don't know if you have something like this indexable facemill not sure if it would be any faster...

You know, Accusize sells internal and external threading inserts in a variety pitches of Full Profile and Partial Profile in kits. I...

I recommend a mixture of old diesel engine oil, swarf, and high sulphur cutting oil with rust encrusted grease as a filler. The end...
