I broke three 1\/8 inch end mill bits working with the stainless steel. \ud83d\ude41 I will try carbide end mill bits next if I can find some. The finish on the SS was not what I desire. Standard bits get dull cutting SS.<\/p>\n<p>I have some nice machineable steel to try next and also fine grain cast iron. That will wait until another day and when I have more 1\/8 inch mill bits to play with.<\/p>\n<p>It is amazing how time flies when you are having fun.
