CNC Mill High Speed Machining 1018 Steel

[HertzCOD4]

Why do you guys post IPM only. State your rpm and chip load. That will determine if its impressive. lol. 1018 is like butter. I hog with Iscars high feed mills. 1" at 4500 RPM and .035/tooth. 3 inserts = 470IPM. However its only .03 depth of cut but metal removal is 10 cubic inch/min on 75% stepover. :) Looks good though.

You can shorten that cut to 15 seconds if you start further out from the center.

@stevpstar

if you ramped it in on the first pass on the outside edge and circled in it'd cut the cycle times way down.
