Lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.
Surface speed is a compromise on parting.
That's what I was thinking. I'll try 5 mil/rev. I like to take it easy to preserve tooling. Stainless needs a bit deeper cut to avoid work hardening issues.
I have oil in my coolant system and it works great except I really have to keep the RPM down to avoid throwing it all over. For high RPMs I brush it on.
Indeed, I use high speed on small tool bits...parting, not so much.
