Hi all....I was wondering what a general opinion is about the chips in the photos and what they are telling me. Is my feed/speed correct or if the insert may be getting dull..etc. I know neither of the photos are nice "C's" or "6's".
My lathe is a Clausing 6304 which only provides 8 spindle speeds...the highest rpm being 1300(-ish)
The material is 1018 steel...the long spiral chips were made at 810 rpm, .030 depth of cut, and a feed rate of .004/rev
the short "curly" chips were made at 810 rpm, .030 depth of cut, " " " .002/rev.
Thanks
