4655 forum posts 304 photos | The solid carbide cutters can be used dry on steel, but oil might help the finish. You will have to proceed using several passes, reducing the depth as the ammount cut increases each time. Very careful lining up will be needed, I have had frequent lop sided results from rounding cutters. All of my rounding off has left tool marks, on cast iron, steel and aluminium which did not matter to me, but you may have to do some hand finishing. ARC do HSS ones, they look like the solid carbide type. Edited By old mart on 27/11/2020 20:46:05 Edited By old mart on 27/11/2020 20:48:33 |
