I have a similar situation with my Van Norman. In order to cut from footstock towards the dividing head the mill motor has to run in reverse to avoid climb milling.
Just tighten everything real good and check between passes to see if anything is unscrewing.
If I may sidetrack this thread for a moment. On-line gear making always show cutting the tooth in one pass. Is this also true when making large teeth? I need to cut some 4-dp gears .539 deep. This seems like a BIG cut to do in one pass.
What do you think?
