Machine is choppy when cutting a circle clockwise but not CClockwise

Hey KnotAproblem,

do you mean the direction of the spindle? Or the direction of the toolpath when milling a circle?

Milling bits have flutes in one direction so work only in one direction.

Or do you mean Conventional milling vs. climb milling?

Note that when a three-phase induction motor has two wires exchanged it runs in the other direction.
