After searching the this forum and others I was unable to find a post that really gave me the information I needed. The purpose of this post is to show up in searches. Feel free to add your experiences to it.
After much experimenting and breaking a few bits this is what works for me. Use this info at your own risk
I have an older PRT, I used a 1/4" Onsrud cutter number 65-025 at 12000 RPM moving at 25 IPM. Depth of pass was .04" Next time I think I will bump that up to .07" possibly. I misted the bit with a little soapy water from a garden sprayer.
Use guys out there with the bigger faster Alpha's may be able to do it faster but for me and my older machine it works, besides I have more time them money anyway
Just trying to give back a little to a great forum that has helped me out so much.
