About my problem… non existent with fresh bits.

The glue in Baltic Birch is really hard on endmills!

@quicky06

About the rack , I don’t want to worry about the play induced by the rack. Plan on doing aluminum and plastics, And running high feed rates on wood. I’m really not interested in anything but ball screws st this point I’ve learned my lessons with compromises and have no interest in making them on the next machine.

Likely even less compromise here!
