One good deed too many
It should be assumed that companies with blue-collar positions are social organizations looking to employ goofballs with troubled pasts.
Milling with constant force
There are many reasons for cutting force to vary, even during stable milling. These include tool teeth entering and exiting the cut, instantaneous changes in chip thickness, and tooth orientation changing as the tool rotates. However, it is possible to arrange the cutting conditions in a simple way and keep the cutting force constant.
