Hi, I'm new to this list, so please forgive me if this has already been covered. I recently purchased a ( used ) Rong-Fu benchtop mill. It's in good shape and...
Thanks John and everyone else who responded to my question. I'm going to mainly start out with 2D work, but my main goal now is to just learn to draw the parts...

Yes, this is a very good book. You don't have to get the very latest version either. A lot of the stuff in there (95+ %) is static meaning it hasn't/doesn't ...
... I'm no expert here, but I suspect the difference lies with the spindle speed and cutter diameter. Your spindle at 20k RPM is 100x faster than the spindle...

... He was talking about flycutting steel, and I calculated a spindle speed of 190 RPM. So, that is 100 times slower, so the forces would be 100 times HIGER, ...
