And its pretty consistent as far as it goes. The pretty small increment is because I tried a larger one and didn't get thru the first pass. I am cutting thru the sides of the quite deeply counersunk 6mm hold down bolt holes, and with the OEM compound, there was enough give & bounce it caught and stopped the spindle in one of the passing holes, breaking a 1/4" long piece off the chip. But its been running for about 4 hours now, s/b done about dusk. Nice pile of cast iron sand on the table. :) But this is not the end yet, it needs to deepen the hollow on the next pass. Since that sudden stop was from about 240 rpm, I have confidence the glue will still be holding when I pry it loose from the chucks face tomorrow sometime. 3M Metal cement, got it at CVS. No clue how easy cleaning it up will be. Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
