Re: 316 stainless

Excellent analysis KG.

So many times as machinists we slow things down when we have a problem
when sometimes speeding things up is what is needed.

I'm no expert I have learned most of what I know by screwing up. The
only thing I claim is that I paid attention when I did screw up.

With that said it might make more sense to abandon the M geometry which
is a medium general purpose chip breaking style and go to a more
roughing grade or even a wiper roughing geometry.
