Showerthought: I used to fight with a part on our old Mazak mill, but a scrap bin in Toledo showed me the fix.
Three years ago, I was running a job for a local shop that made a tricky bracket with a deep pocket. I kept getting chatter and a bad finish, no matter how I tweaked the speeds. Last month, I was visiting a buddy's shop in Toledo and saw a similar part in their scrap bin, but it had a different toolpath pattern. I asked their lead guy, Carl, and he said they just use a smaller stepover and climb mill the whole thing. Tried it back home and it worked perfectly. Has anyone else had a simple tip from another shop solve a long-running problem?
