slotting titanium
Slotting 6al4v annealed titanium at 2400 rpm and 28 ipm, .550 deep. The endmill was a reground garr 230 series 30 degree helix .470 diameter. The combined length of the pieces was 30". There was basically no wear on the endmill. I apologize for the part change time. Please keep in mind that if this had been 1 piece 30" long it would have been done in just over 1 minute, with a 7.2 cubic inch removal rate. Many thanks to Lee Precision Machine in Athens AL for the material and machine time to make this video. We will now be concentrating our efforts on producing the best endmill for titanium.
