Re: Slot-milling worked out on my 10k

I don't know the spindle speed -- I have a tach, but haven't measured & written down the speeds at each setting -- as fas as it would go with my 1725rpm motor, but there's a pulley exchange there that's likely specific to my lathe.
For the crossfeed: I'm also not sure how the gearbox translates to crossfeed speed.? I was using the 224tpi / 0.0015" per rev gearbox setting.? Does anyone know how that translates to a radial velocity?

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. :-)
