Since you ground your own cutter, my questions are, what's the cutter geometry, and is it highly polished to allow the chips to flow off it? .100" is pretty deep for a .062" diameter cutter so the cutter design is going to be a big factor. At 15"/min and a 20,000 rpm spindle I calculate .00075" thick chips. That's not much of a chip. Lots of thin chips equal more volume than lesser amount of thick chips, maybe you need a a higher feedrate?
