Re: 2” facemill recomendations
I’m running some parts right now that are starting out 1 1/4 X 1 1/4 X 1/4 X 2.100 inch aluminum angle.
I’m using the 38 mm face mill from Tormach. I locate the part in aluminum soft jaws and I machine it at .025 DOC at 5,000 RPM and 50 IPM. The finish I am getting is amazing and to remove .025 from the top and .250 from the legs takes about 40 seconds.
It almost takes longer to change parts than it does to cut them.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
