Dear all,

I'm a hobbyist and has been lurking around this forum.

I'm writing in here to understand the pre-requisite to work on Copper Tungsten alloys.

From my understanding, the torque of the motor and type of tools used is important.
However, is there some data that i could follow?

For example, can a 400W with a rpm range of 50-2,250 generate enough torque to machine the alloy?

From this online website, WEN Technology - Calculators , i managed to calculate the torque to be 95.49n.m. Is that sufficient?

So my question is this, what kind of torque should there be to be able to machine the tungsten alloy at minimum.

What else am i missing out? I'm in the process of purchasing a lathe that will work on CuW materials, please help.
Much appreciated.
