6061, HSS, about 800 rpm, light pass. It looks torn on the left side of the collar. The upload ate the photo again so you'll have to live with words. Chip is dusty, not a curl. I think the tool is low. Ken, do not tell me it looks fine.

No photo, no medal. Dusty chip means you're rubbing. Raise the tool until it cuts. You already said the thing.

Sounds fine to me, 6061 always looks a little messy. I wouldn't chase it.

Ken you can't see it. Nobody can. I said that in the first sentence.

Dust is rubbing. A spark-out pass makes it worse if the tool is low, it just burnishes the tear. Raise it until you get a thread of a chip. Then stop.
the chip is the picture

Raised it. Less torn. Not a mirror. I can live with it. The collar is a spacer, not a trophy.
