Machining Ground Flat Stock - Tool Steel
I'm making small parts out of 1/8" precision ground flat stock by chain drilling and filing. Now that I have a CNC mill, I'd like to try machining these parts using a 3/32" 4 flute carbide end-mill or some other type of end-mill that will hold up to this material.
I would assume that I would need slow spindle speeds, feed rates, and depths of cut along with plenty of coolant but was hoping that those that work with this type of material could give some advise.
Best Regards.
