Hello....noob facing question here...bare with me....
Running Fadal 4020HT....10k rpm, 20hp. Bt40 holders.
I have a 12 x 12 x 2" thk A-36 plate that I need to square and face.
The plate is flame cut and has rough edges all around...
I am wondering what cutters to use in squaring and facing. I have pockets to do and have an SGS Z-Carb AP cutter 3/4" for roughing and finishing the pockets....
I am not sure what to use for facing - indexable cutter? What brand would be ok for someone who isn't doing full production constantly?
Also - do I have to worry about "hardening" due to flame cutting process or should that not really concern me? Would I use an indexable cutter to face all the flame cut faces?
Thanks and any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
