Milling Stainless Steels
Hi all!
Just opened this thread in hopes someone can shed some light on this problem when milling stainless steel.
Our Shop does its fair share of Stainless milling and turning but the milling seems to be difficult. Most of the tools we use are from Iscar. We just recently started to buy some of the new SumoTech Inserts including the ones the recommended for stainless. They told us to run them dry with only air blowing on the Cutter. What a Joke!! To date we have not found an Insert to hold up.
I would appreciate any Input. Feeds, Speeds and Cutters and Inserts used would be nice to know.
PS: Our Parts are semi large in size, at times we run parts as large as 50" x 30" x 20" tall
Thanks!
