Afternoon all,
Up until now I've been mainly using on the lathe, and just using the milling machine for drilling tapping etc.
I've got a project now, where I am having to mill the edge of a piece of 1/4" mild steel.
I've got it in the vice, with about 1/4" of material above the jaws, everything is snugged down tight but yet
I'm getting awful vibrations. I'm only trying to remove twenty thou at a time, but even reducing the depth of cut has little effect.
I've been using a 5/8" end mill, in an er32 holder. I've also tried a little hogger, in a 3/4" end mill holder.
Both seem to result in the same amount of vibration.
I've checked the tram, and its within a thou both ways.
Its beginning to do my head in, as i cant carry on with the part.
Any ideas?
Matt
