I've converted a Grizzly G0602 lathe to run under pathpilot. Having some problems with parting. I have the tool set to as close to the exact center as I can get it, but as the lathe feeds to the center it seems like its trying to crawl under the stock. Tool is square to chuck within a couple thou over the length of the tool. Using what I would consider light cuts as in the attached picture.
What are others that are using an 8L using for feeds and speeds in 6061 aluminum. Am I running too fast? should I take a deeper cut? etc... I am not running coolant.

@ 37:05 in this video the operator is taking a LOT more aggressive cut than I am and its blasting through the part without coolant.
Thanks!
