Re: Slot-milling worked out on my 10k

Yeah, I was pretty worried about that stick-out, but I only had three 3/16" endmills; two of these, and one shorter 2-flute. I wanted the extra flutes, given the speed limits on my lathe, but these 4-flute endmills?are fluted for a? *long* ways, and I needed enough clean shank to indicate on.
I did break one of them in a test cut, feeding by hand, though, so the power cross-feed really made this possible.? I have a really hard time feeding that slowly and steadily by hand.
Thanks for the great video and picture!? I'm amazed you were able to do that slot with that end mill hanging out that far. Nice. :-)
