My toy isn't strong enough to do it a hell of a lot faster anyway Might not even happen today, I'm nearly halfway up to my butt in white stuff here this morning. :( I can get to the shop, but might have to shovel to get room enough to open the door & get in, and hopefully it is NOT snowing inside the shop (yet). > > On 2/14/2014 6:42 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > > Greetings; > > > > I didn't look to see whose code that is, but I made several passes at > > trying to use it to bore a hole .7" deep in a 1" piece of steel this > > afternoon, and cannot make sense out of what its giving me. > > > > I specced a .250 diameter mill, feedrate of 8, depth increment of > > .015, a stepover of 25%, 2000 rpm, no bolt size but an .850" pocket > > .700" deep in those 2 boxes in the lower left corner. > > > > It gave me a pocket diameter of .650, several times.
