![]() 557 forum posts 38 photos | Looking at the latest "lathes and more" article ME 4587 p766 fig.15 may leave the beginner wondering where they can obtain a milling cutter for use when the direction of rotation is reversed. It should show the direction of feed reversed not the rotation of the cutter. |
