I have been cutting alot of titanium lately and found that using a light radial cut (.030"-.040") with the deepest depth of cut possible on the part(within reason no more than 2.0"). I use coated high helix carbide e/ms and the tools will last alot longer using a chip load around .015" per flute and a surface footage of around 175 ror roughing and down to .010 per flute for finihsing. I know this sounds kind of out there but ive had alot of luck so far with this.
The most important thing is quality tools. |
