Maybe someone else has had this. I was cutting some dove tails in steel and noticed that I started getting what I would call a lot of like gear noise. I never heard this before doing other milling but wondered if the cutting stress of the dove tails was causing this noise. It almost sounded like gear backlash noise. Didn't seem to affect any thing but did make me wonder if something unforeseen was or is going on that I should be looking into. Any help would be great as I hate to tear into this and find that it is just a normal noise to get used to when doing these kind of cuts. I wasn't forcing the cuts ,was cutting slow and at a fairly slow speed to not damage the cutter and the dove tails came out good. Just not sure about the noise I was hearing from the gears. Thanks:thinking:
