Going to try a combination of smaller DOC and increased IPM for the flat end mill, because I did see that the wood slightly burned on the sides when i was cutting through this 3/4 piece in order to cut out the main shape. Will also try a final pass, let’s see! I really hope this isn’t just the grain because that would make this really really hard for me. I’d have to learn it eventually, but I hope today isn’t that day.
