I am a newbe benchtop machinist with a Seig II tuned and trammed great. I'm making light end cuts on 6016 1 1/2 X 1/2 with a 3/4 4 flute Tin coat from LMS trying to see how smooth I can get. I have modified with LMS belt drive and do OK at about 1/3 rpm. I get small vertical wavy pattern on surface. Am I way to slow? Do I lubricate? My goal is perfection. Do I set the belt to higher speed pulleys. Cuts are smooth to touch with some shine and are perfectly square. How would you do it on this machine.
Thanks
