Wow, nice!
I know you were topping out at 7500 rpm and 40 inches per minute on the older Haas VF0, so that's quite a leap with the new VF2SS. Nice having the 3-phase power on that machine now too. I couldn't help but notice the spindle motor load was just shy of 100% load at the widest part of the toolpath, so you know there's more available when you need it. The motors are rated for 50% more load in short bursts like that.
The cutter is a Walter F4041.UB.051.Z04.13, and I believe Ed has one of those as well. I've never heard any reports from him about the cutter though.
