I believe it is HRS (hot roll steel) and CRS (cold roll steel) not that i know what these things are necessarily but i will need to machine these on my prospective x3 i plan on getting. it'll be some angles cut in 1/4 steel angle pieces and some drill holes strategically place for a piece of equipment it'll be building. Can anyone give me an idea of the type of endmills i will need to machine cut steel and the longevity they might offer? how many .25 inch drill holes might i get from one drill bit endmill? what type of endmill would be best to cut notches in 2.5" wide .25 inch thick steel angle. how much can you cut into steel until you have to change out endmills? thanks guys!
