so many solutions ......so little time

@cdickenson64 I agree on that, and if that's a cast ductile iron piece, it's a pretty tough material.

@kaleb4444 boring jobs usually are...well...boring...

Its me again, lol. may i ask what is the accuracy your FPT can handle while in this bore milling operation with the 2 inch dia tool. 0.001 ?

I am really collecting a lot of info about this FPT coz the one i work with is pretty messed up and there is a couple jobs we had to refuse because of its poor accuracy.

The company bought the machine from a bankruptcy, and since they almost had no experience on machining ( all welders ) they kind of neglected its many maintenance needs.

@memorylane1980s It is probably feeding as fast as it should considering the size of the workpiece. the diameter of the cutter and the amount of unsupported sideload on the long facemill shank.

paid by the hour :)

@robhan4 I agree, those chips are getting snagged into the cut, kind of makes me want to get the airline on my laptop......Great clip though..!

Get that speed  n Feed up!! lazy Bastard! :P

[sjmunoz]

is that an FPT ?!

They should blow some air to prevent remilling the chips on the lower part of the pipe
