| Oh ok nice. Did you Cut3d for the programming? I assume you didn't since you used the 4th axis. I'm trying to obtain a nice smooth finish on curved pieces. I'm using a 1/8 ball mill and had 5 % stepover, maybe I need to get a smaller ball-nose or maybe even a better one, the one from grizzly that I got stink. At least the regular end-mills did. -Jason |

| Hmmmmm, I'm getting much better results with a 5% finish pass with a 1/8th cutter. I meant to say I was using a 3/16 cutter in my earlier post. Much better results. Can even do better with lower step. But the program will run about 4 hours now.... -Jason |
