Hi Group,
One must tilt the cutting tool not the axis. On my
machine I was hoping to get away with just using a pipe wrench.
That would tilt the whole axis. This would cause other problems.
I have been looking over my burrs and ME bits. The VEE shaped
ME bit has a longer vertical cutting area. If you cut too deep
with the ME bit the traces get thinner and the isolation wider. With
the ball mill, if the ball slips below the copper you can get
a crash!
