Hello,
Up to this point all of my machining has been on Alum, but I'm starting to venture into 1018 steel and just need some advise on some starting recipes.
I'm running a Haas super mini mill with 15HP spindle.
if you could give me your suggestions for 1/4" 3 flute end mill that would be great.
Here are the numbers I was going to use... ( so please give me your suggested changes )
I will be mainly cleaning out some 1/2" pockets
SFM: 250
RPM: 3820
Feed/Tooth: .001
Feed Rate: 11.46
Step Over: .05"
Depth of cut: .05"
Thank You,
Kent
