0.010" radius insert?
that's pretty small for stainless... actually that's small for any material.
we normally use 0.8mm radius insert for boring bars (0.0314").
I assume 'ribs' means intermittent cutting.... use a stronger insert shape like a CNMG or WNMG insert and feedrate maybe 0.008" - 0.012" and surface speed maybe 180 - 240 fpm
I forgot to mention, this is my finish pass. I am boring as much as I can with a wnmg.
Insert grade has a lot to do with it also.
