I don't have a mill, nor do I have a place to put one. I do have a Palmgren milling attachment for my 13 x 40 lathe. I avoid using it unless there is no other way.
I would like to bevel the corners on some square and rectangular pieces at 45*. The face of the bevel would be 1/8" or 3/16". That would mean the depth of cut for the 1/8" face would be .0625, and for the 3/16", it would be .0938.
Since cutting these bevels would not involve the whole end mill being in constant contact with the work, I don't know how to figure speed/feed/DOC. Would it be okay to do this in a single cut? If so, what would you recommend for speed and feed? Also, I assume a 4-flute end mill should be used, but should it be the largest or smallest possible?
Thanks for any help.
