[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 475569, member: 25383"] I know I'll be hung by my thumbs for this post, but if I just had to flute a barrel, I'd use an arbor with a blade type cutter at a slow speed. Ball end mills tend to create a good bit of stress while making their cuts, but this method is by far the easiest. The mandrel tends to shear the metal in the same direction as the bore. But on the otherhand I would never flute a barrel that's already finished out. gary [/QUOTE]
