Most of my work is with 316 in the lathe as well, I love it. Have never done 316 on the mill before under CNC so that is new to me but think you are probably right about the quality of cutter. I ended up using a Sandvik 8mm 4fl on the stainless yesterday and it just breezed through it. I am frightened of pushing things too hard with the CNC but I am getting braver

I see a big difference in the rigidity of of my Series1 CNC compared to the manual mill I converted and am starting to take some meatier cuts LOL
Dont know enough about CNC to give my opinion on the Reset button but basically I use it as an e-stop, whether this is right or wrong I dont know.Only other time I use it is after using the Hold button first, not sure if that is the correct procedure or not.

Edit
Now I am awake I better rewrite what I said about Reset and Stop Button.
I only use the Reset as an E-Stop and the Stop button I only use when a program is running and I want to stop it, but I always press the Hold button before I press the Stop.
