Hot take: running a face mill at 60% stepover beat the full-width passes my old lead insisted on
He had me burying a 3 inch cutter across the whole 6 inch plate on the Haas, and it chattered so bad we had to babysit the spindle load. Went to a 60% stepover at the same speed and the finish came out clean enough to skip the grinder, so now I'm wondering how many other 'rules' from that shop were just habits.

60% stepover on a 3 inch cutter makes sense, that full 6 inch pass is why the Haas shook.
