Part 6/8:
He references a "tiny mill," emphasizing its utility for small-scale milling tasks. The craftsmanship relies heavily on high-speed, precision tooling—particularly tungsten carbide end mills, appreciated for their sharpness and ability to operate at high speeds. The importance of "rigidity" in machinery and tooling is repeatedly stressed, as stability directly affects the quality of cuts and overall accuracy.
"The main thing is cutting speed," he states, underscoring an understanding that optimal speed and proper tooling—like tungsten carbide—are essential for efficient and high-precision work.
