Need Help! Slotting 316 stainless with my PCNC-1100 - Page 3 - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Today I had some success. The carbide mill I picked up yesterday was a 3-flute bull nose end mill and it worked much better. I had a little hiccup when it initially cut through the discolored area. It tried to pull the TTS tool holder out of the collet but I was right there and stopped it. reset it and all was ok today. I will post the numbers and calculations on Monday of what I ended up running.

I curse every time I have to cut stainless. I'm found that using a rougher followed by a full depth finishing pass with a 4 flute cutter works best for me.
