Mill Rough Cut at End of Run

[Shiseiji]

Hi all. Low profile member here. I'm milling a gib and at the end of the ~ 11" cut best I can guess is maybe the gib is flexing? I'm going to try and post a picture. I have drill rod in the non gib vee way, drill rod on the outside of the gib held in place with adjustable parallels. Appreciate any insight/advice.

I think you're correct. Looks like the gib is pulling up or just wobbling around. A really sharp end mill and a light cut might help.

Thanks. I'll swap the tool. This one has been in use on the Metal Lathe Accessories crossslide so I probably pushed my luck using it on the CRS gib. This gib is for a different crossslide LOL, darned if I can find the gib that I'm pretty sure came with it. Practice . . . Appreciate your time.
