Anyone ever run molybdenum on their swiss-type? I may have an application that needs this material. I've never machined this material and I'm curious to see if it's possible on a swiss cnc.

I haven't run it on a swiss but, I had some moly parts that were turned and milled.
It is chippy, The threads were hard to get a good finish on.

the as sintered thing sounds a little scary through a guide bushing, and it sounds like it work hardens prettty bad
I will only quote moly again for double my usual rate knowing it will give me double the usual grief!
