[QUOTE="Jinx-), post: 632271, member: 19791"] Gary, thank you for your advice! After all I decided not to to scrap work I started. I also found interesting article by [I]Peter P. Jenkins president of Harvey Tool Co. LLC, "Dodging dovetailing headaches" [url=http://www.micromanufacturing.com/content/dodging-dovetailing-headaches]Dodging dovetailing headaches | MICROmanufacturing[/url] Well, that article is more about microdovetailing , but it gives very good points what to avoid in dovetail cutting and one of them number [/I][B]5. Failure to climb mill.[/B][I] So I switched from conventional to climb and here are the results. [IMG]http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5052/dovet01.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7990/dovet02.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/8035/dovet03.jpg[/IMG] Now, if I have to cut my next dovetail, I think I'll get indexable insert cutter and take advantages of higher cutting speeds and feeds :rolleyes: [/I] [/QUOTE]
