§Inspection during driving
- 01Does the cutting sound smooth, or does it whine/vibrate abnormally?
- 02Are the chips uniform or do they indicate too high/low feed rate?
- 03Is the surface free of burnt edges or frayed cuts?
- 04Does the tool hold the temperature or does it get abnormally hot?
§After the task
- 01Note if the tool needs to be changed/sharpened before the next task
- 02Note deviations from the recommended cutting data and why they were adjusted
