ok i have a feed rate question,
this last weekend i was cutting a part, and i was using a 1/4 inch HSS 2 flute endmill, spindle speed was 2000, and about the hardest i was willing to push was about 2IPM with a .125 DOC.
any faster, and it sounded like i was gonna break something.. and considering its the only peice of that stock i had, i couldnt risk messing it up.
