Begin by ensuring the machine's bit is nice and sharp. Double-check that it's secure. Also, verify that the item you're about to cut is firmly held in place. Remember to use oil, it's great for both cutting and cooling. Always prioritize safety. If you need to remove the item before it's cool, make sure you're wearing welding gloves or any other type of well-insulated gloves. Once it's safe, cool the part with water. Keep repeating these steps until you're finished.
