Without lube it will get very close to the red, however with a little coolant it will push right through at full woc. I've face over 300 1"x4"x7" 6061 blocks with a .129" carrier with no issues but .05" or more doc would be nice at 70 - 90 IPM. I always thought it could be due to the weight of tool too.
Any HD pics of the Tormach fly cutters finish on your parts ?
