He said I was feeding too fast for the material, so I dropped my feed rate to 0.005 and the finish is perfect now. Anyone else have a simple setting change that fixed a big problem?

Slowing down the coolant flow fixed my chatter issue.

That feed rate trick is a lifesaver, same as @phoenix_jackson52's coolant fix.

Totally, dialing back the spindle speed saved my last part!
