    What is the cutter you are using? Flute count, coating, flute length and overall length? do you have a link to it? Also what is the max rpm that you have? Type of wood? Soft hard plywood?

      Easy there cowboy. I think you're more excited about this stuff than I am.

      The machine is at my shop space, which is 100 miles from where I live, so I only get to play around with it on the weekends. It's summer though, so there's other stuff to do on the weekends too. It'll be a month or two before I start to get the machine and the process dialed in. For the moment I'm happy just using whatever bits I got from the previous owner or picked up from the big box store to turn out some hobby-grade projects.

        It's like having another version of my self talking about it!

                      I will compare pistons to the first time I did this. Snap did it better
