Sorry, I knew I was forgetting some info.
We are milling.
We are making silicone rubber molds that are for the medical field.
The largest size mold we make is an 8x8.
Usually the cavity detail is pretty small. I do alot of milling of pockets for cores and cavity inserts. I would like to do some of the finishing work by milling instead of EDMing everything.
We do all of the cutting on a Haas VF2 with a 10,000 RPM spindle and a high speed control, or what they consider a high speed control.
I am using Mastercam
Right now I am trying out some mill monsters TIALN coated. It is not going to well.
I hope that is enough info.
