No problem. It probably has more typos, grammar issues, and the like than normal (still high). As I was trying to get down as much as I could in the time I had. So sorry about that… And for whatever I did that forced it to be approved.
Again if someone want more info or expansion on something, let me know.
@TDA I don’t know that you did anything, John, to get it approved. The anti-spam alogrithm flagged it to me or any of the admins. I didn’t really pay any attention to the flag. I saw that the post was from you and approved it. Trusting soul, aren’t I? 
As I’ve said before, I truly appreciate the time you put into your posts. I’m sure that others here do to.
@TDA That was very good, thanks for that. A lot to digest, but all very understandable. I think what I’m doing right now, as a beginner, is reasonable and will get me along until I gain a bit more experience.
But this is all very good to help me move forward. I’m sure I’m not alone, what I’m looking for is good clean crisp cuts that preserve the life of the tool as much as possible. As a retired hobbiest, speed is really the last thing I am concerned with. Which of course is a lot different than what commercial businesses want.
Thanks
I’m going to go with “no one would ever write a real post this long… Must be spam. FLAG IT!”
Lol, I’ll try not to abuse the very trusting admin.
Fair enough. Looked like you were wanting more info on the “whys”. So that should at least get you started when you are ready.
That’s a lot of people. The issue is that too “slow” will screw up that “crisp cut” and tool life part. Need to at least be cutting and not grinding/rubbing. I’ll keep myself in check for now and not go into another long text wall.
Oh I’m definitely someone who always wants more info, didn’t mean to imply that I didn’t. Thank you very much for it!
Yes, if you saw my note about my very first job, surfacing my top. I learned that one the hard way! Too slow screwed me up alright, almost caught my shop on fire, set off the fire alarms, and ruined my surfacing bit! haha. It’s was a good lesson to convince me that I needed to learn a lot more about the “why’s” of all these feeds and speeds things!
