| 622 forum posts 46 photos | OK Guys basic help needed and want to get it right. So I wish to face off the end of this hex bar. My inclination is to turn the cutter a few degrees and take fine cuts. If I am right how many degrees is usual.I am using a cutter which my book states can be used to face as well. regards Chris |

Thanks Jason worked fine at slightly more than 5 degrees.Question would it damage the cutting edge or cause other issues if more of an angle was tried? Chris
