How to slow down power feed?

[Wongster]

Ed,

I tried turning the 2MT arbor's business end this morning to take a pic as the unintended thread looking surface finish was filed & sanded off.



This one is not as bad. Lots of smoke while turning. Hope no one alert the fire department... :) The piece measured 25.3mm in dia. The tool use is HSS. Spindle speed 660rpm with feed set at 0.07mm/rev.

This is first cut. 0.1mm feed (0.2mm of diameter). Much nicer.




Regards,
Wong
