[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1441405, member: 2736"] No argument hear, Just for discussion That's a good description of the time to cut a chamber if you did not stop and clean or just to inspect. Some reamer makers say you can run their reamers @ 250+ RPM and Carbide likes faster spindle speeds for all cutting So I believe 400 rpm +. I don't have/use a high pressure cutting oil system (I tried one) because It made such a mess and the fact that I am anal, I have to stop often and look at the chamber to check the cut quality. I realize that they work, but I just prefer stopping and cleaning often. I also feel what the reamer is doing and know when to stop feeding if anything is wrong. I know smiths that use oil systems and do great chambers, I just didn't need the speed or the trouble if something goes wrong. I stop and check just to make sure something has not gone wrong and I still have time to correct anything i don't like before the chamber is finished . If anything does go wrong, using a flush system it may cause problems that can't be fixed without setting the shoulder back and spending more time fixing it. Again I would never tell a smith how to chamber, he does what he wants hopefully because it produces the best results for him and his equipment. My way works for me and is very dependable/consistent chamber to chamber using my equipment. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
