No tool chatter, just the nearly silent scraping sound as it just barely make a bit of dust. I have no clue how it will take the cutting heat, but while out getting a scrpt for Dee at CVS I found some double-sided, no foam, scotch tape that claimed to be permanent. Since there are empty jaw slots in the chuck, I'd bet it is removable. :) Anyway the job is started, will take about 500 minutes to run. Looking at the backplot highly magnified, it looks as if the first few cuts are light, and by the time it was to make the last sweep, the cut would be pretty heavy, so I reduced the decrement multiplier, and then adding a teeny bit to it in the loop, which made the last half look like a pretty consistent cut. We came in to check on my lady, & rebore and refill the coffee cup, and we'll go see how its doing once it starts to cut a visible curve. And take my IR thermometer along to see how hot its getting when I go back up the hill. If that fails, I also bought a small tube of "metal" glue, which reads like it might work, but has a 24 hour under clamp cure time. Fun and games, but so far I'm not keeping score. Thank you Przemek.
