You have a rush job on 60 pieces of A36 HR steel. There's a need to mill .188" deep across the face of the 4"x10". Several passes required.
You're using a manual milling machine. AcraMill, but that's not relevant. There's an auto feed for the X-axis and a DRO.
What do you do? How shall you run it?
I'm asking for help because I've been running at 200 rpm with a feed rate of .010/sec at a depth of .188". And making passes every 1.50". With the lubricant flowing on the cutter. And the endmills are taking a beating.
