Tony,

Sounds like your skill level is a different order to mine, as an accountant I could deflect numbers anyway you wish (but of course didn't) but deflecting a cutter sounds beyond me.

Stuart

, sorry for being too technical, all will become clear as you progress in your machining journey, as a general rule say for milling use the shortest sharp cutter you can & only use long series cutters if you have to. Loads of online advice will come your way but yes get hands on experience with a decent machinist if you can. Where are you located?

Don't want to get in a 'pi****g' contest………………………

Probably wise, as those types of contest usually end up with someone getting wet shoes.

Tony,

Essex – some good sources of 'hands on' advice once covid restrictions allow. Till then fun learning.
