Hello, I am running a job in 6061 that has a .2 deep slot, 12" long and .625 wide.
I drill an entry hole and plunge a 1/2" 2-flute (HHS TIN) to Z-.195 in and then do the G41 thing to a tangent point on the other end while going to Z-.2 to get a nice bottom finish.
Running at 4000 RPM and 30 IPM. I am using Castrol Syntolo 10%
Then continue the G41 moves to make the rounded end slot.
With this cutter how hard can I push it?
Regards, Ray
