CDCO 2.5" indexable face milling cutter.
When a cut is made, the cutter will cut deeper on the left side of the cut.
Cutting left to right, the trailing side cuts deeper than the leading side. Cutting right to left, the opposite happens.
This is most noticeable after all the material has been removed to level out the face being cut.
It doesn't matter how deep a cut is being taken.
Cuts are 2 or 3 thousand per cut.
The mill vise and it is out by 0.001" across the 5" of the vise jaws.
Is the mill out of tram, or is there another problem?
