You ever feel like you crawled out from under a rock? I just felt that way, just taught myself how to high speed peel mill, that works pretty nifty. Makes me wonder what else i am missing out on, and how much i am making my job harder by not knowing these things.... I made a .63 wide slot, 1" deep, 1.25" long, thru T1 material, 1/2" depth of cut with a 1/2" carbide endmill in very short time thanks to this..... i was only peeling off .025" per pass @ 32ipm, but still, alot faster and alot less worry than just trying to plunge thru or making small step cuts. Debating on turning it up even faster, lol.....
What other tricks am I missing out on for general material removal techniques (besides drilling out relief holes, lol) ?
