What sort of carbide are you using? I've never had good luck with
the 0 degree rake brazed carbide. I hear that it wants to run
really fast.

I have a simple question. How deep of cuts
do you normally make?
I have a 1949 vintage SB9C, with 6 speeds. I replaced
the 1/4 hp motor with a 1/2 HP one. I use carbide a
lot, but HSS still gets used some. Many of the videos
say I should take at least a 0.005" cut for the best
finish. I usually cannot take more than 0.002" with
dragging down, or stopping, the spindle.
What's reasonable for me?
Thanks, Steven
