Hi All,
I am slot milling the face of a round part made out of 1215 steel on a lathe. the slot is .375" wide and 1.1" deep. I am using a .375" solid carbide 4fl end mill. Currently my DOC is .05", SFM is 200 and Feed is .0042. I am looking to see if I can optimize this, specifically on my depth of cut #, it seems low to me. Prior to raising the DOC and possibly shattering a carbide end mill, thought I would get the zones thoughts...
