1200 rpm, 4.8 ipm feedrate maybe a .002" or .003" max chip to start... Get braver from there!
I would beg to differ on coolant though. you should use air on hardened steel. coolant wreaks havoc on...

lesr,
Editcomm is still not installing correctly even with the new install. It says that there are visual basic files not up to date (in xp) and asks you if you want the installer to fix the...
