Turning RoundThis is used as the first step for all round

spindlesTwo options when turning round

SideBottom

Side uses a two-flute strait cutting bitBottom uses a bottom cleaning bitThe speeds and feeds are different for both

The Side optionRecommend using a ½ cutterStep over is between 0.1 and 0.05Feed rate is 20-50 IPMThis is used when making small mortis and

tenon

The Bottom Option1.25 CutterUsed for roughing stock and tapering

materialStep over is between 0.5 and 0.125Feed rate is 150-250 IPM
