OK Guys basic help needed and want to get it right. So I wish to face off the end of this hex bar. My inclination is to turn the cutter a few degrees and take fine cuts. If I am right how many degrees is usual.I am using a cutter which my book states can be used to face as well.

regards

Chris

try 5 degrees between cutter and finished end of work.

A photo of your cutter in the toolpost would be a big help

Thanks Jason worked fine at slightly more than 5 degrees.Question would it damage the cutting edge or cause other issues if more of an angle was tried?

I would face this with far less of it protruding from the chuck. Angles look about ok
