Don't start with me, dragging the discussion off on a tangent. Those are what I was referring to to begin with.... And not because YOU have one, but INSTEAD because evidently THOSE MANUFACTURERS thought it was useful to know the feed rate. It's called an example.....
If they thought so, why do YOU insist that it is BETTER NOT TO KNOW the rate? You evidently need to go to some graveyards and tell those folks how stupid they were!
If you like to remain ignorant of the speed, and just judge it by eye and call it good, go right ahead.... I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own shop.![]()
Some of us do things differently, either because we do not use the machines enough to remember everything, or because we like to avoid trial and error, so we go by the tried and true speeds and feeds when we need to get it right..
It ain;t worth wasting the electrons to argue over it..... I brought it up because the OP mentioned not knowing the feeds....so I suggested a way to know them. I'm not telling YOU what to do.
