Mcgyver, thanks for the input. Yes, it did make some chips! Pretty, perhaps not, but nonetheless.
I've got some more info from some other Taig users, and I'm going to try more spindle speed, put together a better clamping arrangement, and give it another try. I was in the right ballpark, though.
Has anyone used 1/4-20 carriage bolts on their Taig table? Looks like they'd fit perfectly with just a little filing on two sides, but I'm worried about gouging the slots on the table when I tighten the bolts. No big deal? |
