I like the title, you get a little chatter from that setup?

With a four flute 5/8" end mill, ample cutting fluid, and pretty heavy passes, there was a lot of chatter. I ended adding two more clamps and switching to a two flute 1/2". After that it cut like butter.

Yeah, I was thinking those two clamps along the one side looked a little light.

Sorry, I totally forgot to mention they were for M50/52 style motors.

They should work on M42/44 motors as well.

Then I cut them up. I've only got one set left BTW.

I'm enjoying the one-per-week photo rate. :)

Any plans on making the locking pins and vanos wrench as well?

Possibly? I've got some of two of these left. They've been through a move and they're a little scratched and covered with dust. I'd love to get rid of them. I'd take $20 plus shipping.

Hmmm...interesting...I would have to see if I can buy the other tools separately. I want to have a full set
