Hey guys/gals! I am very new to milling/machining. I would like to know the best way to mill the ends of some DOM tubing. I am making bushing housings for some leaf spring shackles and they need to be exactly 2.5" wide. The DOM tubing is 1.5" x .25" wall.
I have a JET mill/drill. Should I use the tip or side of the end mill to remove excess material off the end of the 2.5" piece of tubing? Also, should I place the tubing vertical or horizontal in the vise? Just looking for the best technique.
