Getting deep grooves in slabs

[csmillingnoob]

Thanks, I think there's a distinct possibility I was rocking a bit through the cut. It's a good suggestion to go in at an angle, I think I could have also benefited from getting the log further up off the ground.

It does not look like you were rocking very much. Your "groves" are all fairly straight across the board. If you rock the blade very much, the grooves will not be consistently straight across the board.

were you experiencing extreme vibration? The mills always vibrate, so I mean vibration like "WOW this sucks."
