Bunch of geezers. The new sleeve works great, ready to hog some metal now. This is 3/8" wide at a 1.5" depth of cut through some scrap steel using dark oil, about 50 RPM @ 2 IPM, better than a half cubic inch per minute. Perfect job for an old mill in its retirement home; keeps the joints from rusting up.
