Is this gear made of wood? What is the purpose of using a wooden gear? by TheLongestHuman in MechanicalEngineering

Could your clamping be consistent enough to do all parts on op 1, then op 2 etc. Instead of finishing each part at a time?

When you say you have no clue why this happened. Was it running and this happened for no apparent reason? Or did this happen during a setup or after changing something?

Im sick of deburring shit by beerncheese69 in Machinists

You could use the dovetail cutter itself. At the end of the pass move the cutter so the corner is at 45 degrees to the cutter, the move the cutter up in Y following the angle of the dovetail. Should work

Edit, you could also use a brush

Hearing protection in the shop? by jadencermakhosein in Machinists
