Surface Finish Issues With Extended Length End Mills

Looking for some direction/ advice...
Has anyone else on here used Solidworks CAM? I have no idea how good it is or ease of use, I've only used it for modeling and extracting dimensions for some manual jobs- IamBob

Looking for some direction/ advice...
If you will be creating your own models obviously Solidworks is a good place to learn, if you are being sent 3d models, I have gotten the most help from having someone nearby I could ask for help. I know that isn't always an option, but I had the luxury of learning to program on the job. We use...- IamBob

OT:- 68,195,851 UK Covid-19 Survivors
I can't be grateful for the freedoms me and my family enjoy by birthright based upon liberty and anti-coercive sentiment, and at the same time be spiteful when most of them are being challenged by authoritarian rule? Seems more like a regime than an administration at this point- IamBob

OT:- 68,195,851 UK Covid-19 Survivors
I bet, I mean I have a dog in this race and all but its just funny to see people going round and round without going anywhere for weeks now. Imagine if some HSM got this much response from his post on his new Mini Lathe- IamBob

vaccine mandate
It is an absolute straw man and categorical error to compare any vaccine we may have had in the past and these current "warpsccines." The different standards for testing effectiveness and safety are usually what's cited when I hear peoples objections. I know I know we have so much data and...- IamBob

Haas CNC Reviews
We also have great service from Productivity here in MN so no issue when there is a problem... Got me wondering if their service is nearly as fast with their Makino or Matsuura machines though- IamBob

Facemill for light duty mill - aka 3 hp BP clone
I ran a lot of 304, 316, 420,440c, and 17-4 on a knee mill at work. I found the best results with either a 2" 3 tooth or 2" 4 tooth Seco face mill. We had a 6" cutter I tried a few times, even in 303 a knee mill doesn't really have the rigidity for that type of milling
