Greetings -
I have a 4" Sandvik 6 insert facemill (RA590-102R38A-11M) that I use for finish passes on 6061/7075. There are a lot of threads on different approaches to better finish (remove inserts, etc.) but not much on using a wiper insert. Anyone have any experience or suggestions dropping in a single wiper? If you do, how much addition Z do you give the wiper (Sandvik recommends .001-002) and do you vary feeds and speeds?
Thanks! Jon
