the job im doing is in P20 tool steel.
Bore-milling dia'70mm x 81mm deep holes.
1000 rpm, and 3000mm/min.
at these rates with air Thro' the spindle, the chips really fly! and on first run, milled over 30 bores without changing/turning inserts.
in all honesty, i cant see our VF8's coping with that feed and speed, like our mikrons are.
but it may be of use in the future.
the majority of our tooling is heat-shrink that is all TSC.
have never had much success with collar fed TSC tools, so assume air fed the same way wouldnt be great either.
