    Those look like cat30 tool holders. What type of CNC machine are you using?

    I have a Bridgeport R2E3 Series 1.

    I found this really helpful.
    I've converted an old 3 HP NC knee mill to accept g-code, and I was hoping you could do a quick video on reducing chatter and what "bad/non-ideal" machining sounds like.
    I'm not sure what sounds I should be aiming for and when I'm trying to dry mill aluminum, and I'd appreciate your help.

    I'd also love a video on reducing chatter!

    Remember that you can't always go slower if you're machining something that work hardens.
