If the problem is that the tool dulls before the job is finished, then write-in some tool changes. The process stops periodically, you inspect the cutter, change it or not, then it continues. My guess is that the cutter will last long enough to cut 100 of these hardwood screws. HSS mill work

Greetings all; In thinking about this vise screw project, I see a need to be able to restart where I left off if I stop it to replace a dull or broken tool. I'll have a TLO corrector at the startup of course, but it would be handy to save each new position as it progresses thru the loop,
