Yes you are correct. But I think this will be a real time saver for most of what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobdude Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It appears you aren't concerned with concentricity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportandmiah Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 From past experience, I avoid quick and easy setups. Each time usually resulted in a broken end mill, broken or damaged piece, or flying debris. I do dread the 20 minute setup needed for a simple 1 minute cut on a part. But I've learned that taking the extra time during piece mounting/setup results in far less headaches down the road. Of course if you're machining styrene, the danger decreases by a large margin.
