hardmilling

[jbert]

I was wondering if anyone out there could suggest some good links with info on hardmilling. We are trying to get more into hardmilling and a couple of the people in my shop are terrified of it. They keep trying to convince the others in the tool room that it is inefficient and a waste. They are very Oldschool. I have done some hardmilling myself, but would like to study up on the subject.

Thanks

Makino has been the pioneer on this subject. If you go to their website, they have some time studies and sample parts with some very interesting info. It works, beleive me. They also have some hard milling videos to watch. These are not propaganda videos trying to sell their equipment, these principals apply regardless of whose equipment you buy. Hardmilling as a rule will save you at least 30% time on the average job. Once you understand all the theories, practices and principals, you will have something to show to your colleagues or bosses. Old school is history, those who do not embrace the new technology will also soon be history.

If you or anyone gets "Modern Machine Shop" (April) there is a great article on pg.86 on hard milling that talks about differant HRC and feeds and speeds. I am from a mold shop and the mill on pg.77 makes me move down there.

That's why they call it hard milling.
