Great Tip: Pull Up the Finishing Pass on Pockets
Saw a great tip from an aerospace machinist on one of Hoss’s CNCZone threads:
When you do the finish pass, reduce depth of cut a few thousandths so that only the side of the endmill is cutting. This will improve surface finish and reduce chatter.
Sounds like a geat tip to me!
