I could be wrong but it doesn't look as if you are making that cutter work hard enough.  What speed, feed and doc were you using?  Ken will ask for insert grade and chip breaker, so you'd best include that as well. Oh, best tell us what the material was as well.

Yes, I know I was not turning it fast enough but since it was my first experience with using the mill I decided to error on the side of too slow rather than too fast. The steel is 1018 CRS. I've got a fair amount to take off of one dimension so I'll push it harder next time. I need to set up the shields to deflect all of those chips that come flying off. First I've got to tram it again.
