Machining 17-4 PH Condition H1150 on a citizen swiss. Having trouble breaking chips. I have tried whizcut inserts and sandvik . Was looking to see what other suggestions are out there. My trouble is with roughing cuts I get long stringy chips that wrap around the part not all the time but enough not to be able to run continuously. Any help would be appreciated.
Yes I am using a .015 radius .I have tried DOC from .050 to .200. Just cannot get it to be consistent. I can run 6-7 parts with no problems then the next 3 will have chips.
