I meant that only 50% of the cutter is cutting. Meaning that if you have a 1/4" end mill, only 1/8" width is being taken off (climb milling). It makes it a lot easier on the machine from what I've experienced. My manual says 4300, not 4800, just got it mixed up.
Right now I'm running some cheapo Enco coolant. I didn't know exactly what to use so I just went for the cheap stuff to start out, and check for leaks with. I have some Astro-Cut B coolant on order and am going to see how that works for me. Like you, it will probably last me the rest of my life. |
