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
