Perhaps it is possible with an operator error, such as:
-forgetting to put material in the vise
-forgetting to put tool in spindle
-Z work offset at least an inch too high

Perhaps abandon your user name and sign up a new one as "Helical Solutions Guy".

#2- 1000ipm x .200 radial x 1.0 axial is 200 cubic inches per minute, not 100.

#3- Regardless of 200 c.i.m. or 100 c.i.m., there is absolutely no way either of those volumes were removed with a 20% spindle load on that machine. It's not possible.

#4- There is no way a 1/2" EM at 1" adoc, .200 rdoc and 0.027 cpt is going to cut straight either.
