    Are you serious.??? . . . . If you don't know the material grade how are you programing the speed and feeds..!!!

    There's huge differences in how Exotic materials are machined compared to every day materials like Mild steels and plain Aluminium grades.

    Maybe someone is pulling your chain at work telling you it's an exotic material when it's just normal grade.

    Do you mean unusual 'exotic' grades of steel and aluminium or do you mean exotic alloy like titanium, cobalt etc?

    I guess some unusual grade of aluminium might not be difficult to machine but simply have non-standard properties in other areas. However you will certainly know if you machine solid titanium, carbide, cobalt etc..

    Beware anything with black lipstick, almost always fairly exotic ;-)
