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,

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,

"extremely shallow cuts"  - .001" slightly deeper or shallower.

Any idea of the spindle speed for the engraving cutter.

Thanks
