I tried it again today and had better results. I dropped the spindle speed down to 1300 and was using a .100 doc with a 2 flute carbide 1/4" end mill. My feed rate was 2 ipm and I was flooding the cut with coolant. I'm planning on trying some different cuts with it tomorrow, does it sound like I'm on track? I definitely have a lot to learn, but this is a fun machine.
