OK - don't try this at home. I'm using the expanding mandrel (not locked) to round the ends of the rods. Only start in the middle, plunge in about 0.010, and pull the rod around in the conventional direction, backing the tool out when the "end" is reached. Do not turn the rod with the rotation of the cutter (climb milling) even on the return, the cutter will grab, and bad things will happen. It 'almost' happened to me and I correcter my ways.
