First off, this is my third post on this forum in two days, and I apologize.
Anyway, I'm milling spiral flutes in a granite type tool steel, unhardened.
I'm using a 1/2", center cutting, 3 flute, coated carbide end mill. Applications engineer has me going full depth (.300" per side) in a single pass and my end mill is lasting exactly 1 part (about 48" total)
I'm getting some little chatter and curious if anyone here, who does milling more often than I, can give me any advice.. I'm a lathe guy, go easy on me lol
