hello,
I'm running into some problems with chatter and getting a really bad finish on my parts. I'm using a 3"LOC .25 Dia carbide ball end mill 3 flute. It stickouts from the tool holder flange by 9".I have to use a heatshrink style holder that has a heatshrink extension to reach the bottom of the pocket. I'm trying to do a side profile with it at the bottom of a pocket. The stepover i have set right now is .01 radial engagement with 2.5" doc. Wanting to know what others would try and set their speeds and feeds.
Thank you if i don't reply back.
After testing. So far i just slowed it down all the way to 200 rpm and a ipm of .6. and it came out good enough. Thank you everybody for the suggestions.
