I will have a word with them they use titanium all the time They also use inconell (talk about witches tits) that stuff is seriously tough John |

John, I can turn it seemingly with little difficultly - using HSS tool - I keep it sharp. Now milling it just becomes a disaster. :bang: I want to mill it with a 1mm dia mill or an engraving cutter just .003" deep - seems carbide is the way to go. With some cutting fluid in a "puddle" around it. I know it is quite small. And maybe the spindle speed was too high, I'm not sure. Maybe it was too slow. So should I use a slow spindle speed -say 200rpm? Thanks DaveH |

Tim --- End quote --- "extremely shallow cuts" - .001" slightly deeper or shallower. Any idea of the spindle speed for the engraving cutter. Thanks DaveH |
