OK I am working very near the edge of my 5c spin index. I have already broke at least 3 end mills keeping the cutter fairly extended in the collet. That is Not and Option. What I need is something that will allow me to get some extension. I have been able to use the drill chuck, but I believe that should kill the end mill way prematurely. BTW, the cutter diameter is .110 and LOC is 3/16 I am going 4800 rpm and .0005 IPT feed. YOu guys think something like what I need can be made on a lathe? My other constraint is paying $200 in that one item for a $200 job just doesn't make sense, but I want to get the job done, cause there "might" be more work coming.
Thanks everyone.
