Has anyone else had this issue?
While turning 316 hex bar isn't a great issue once you're under the A/F diameter; facing the bar has always given me a headache. I've tried several brands of inserts, been up and down with the surface speed and feedrate; yet still the problem remains, tool life goes down the sewer on this operation.
Currently I'm using Seco's WNMG080408-MF4, TM3501. I've used a similar insert from Sumitomo, the results are the same.
