Great machine!

What about that. Or second, if you don't feel like digging 9mm into aluminum but just 3mm



PS. With a strong cooling i mean

wow that looks aggresive, never imagined I would attempt it at this high RPM! thanks I will give it a shot with the flood coolant

last year I bought this indexable cutter http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss...2309&NOLOGIN=1
and just tried it and its giving a much better finish, downloaded HSMAdvisor trial and for this cutter its giving me low RPM for HSS and very high for Carbide, any idea how to identify if the triangle insert is Carbide or not, all it says its Tin coated, not sure what the other abbreviations are

this is a set of them from same site, for reference http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/1...3.html#SID=404


alternatively any recommendations to replace it with a carbide one in case those are not?

[Neale]

Those are carbide inserts. Replaceable inserts like those come in different grades of carbide and with different geometry (tip radius, for example) but they are all carbide. Never seen an HSS insert, although someone somewhere probably makes them.

[Boyan Silyavski]

They are carbide inserts right, but i think they should not be treated like a normal carbide cutter. Instead an indexable mill tool should be found in the database and edited correctly.
