    Tiag cnc mill cutting annealed 1/4 in steel time???

    Im sure it can do it. Im wondering how fast it can do it tho. Im wanting to cut knife blanks out. Anyone got any idea how long it would take to cut out a blank on one. No bevels just the basic shape, and drill the holes. I know it may be faster by hand but i can do other stuff while its cutting a few blanks. Nothing to fancy not over 11in long about 1.5in wide up to 1/4 thick.

    I would guess about 10 inches per minute at .035 depth of cut with a 1/4" endmill. At the size you listed that's about 18 minutes.
