I need to cut some parts of spring steel -- probably 0.005 or 0.010 thick 1095 (RC ~50) -- on my 770-3. I have mist but not flood coolant. I plan tol rough shear the stock and drill for 4-40 screws to secure to an aluminum fixture. After cutting, the final pieces will be semi-circular strips about 0.5x1.75 inches with rounded corners and 4 screw holes.

Should I use a Dijet insert cutter? If so, which inserts? RPM, feed, DoC, WoC? Should I cut dry or with mist?

Any suggestions appreciated!
