1.265 by 3.25 inch deep thru slot problem

[HEAVY METAL]

right now I'm using 1.0 plunge cutter from carboloy to rough this slot down the center. The problem with this cutter is it has three small inserts. Does anyone know of a plunge cutter from a different company that has a cutter in between the range of 1.0 and 1.265. also would weclome any other suggestions on how to rough this material out (420 ss) I have thru coolant option and 7000 rpm max

Thanks heavy

Mitsubishi has a multi functional cutter with thru coolant. it is good one.

I saw a video of a Stellram plunger that was also as fast drilling into solid as a standard Udrill. If this was a regular job, I would look into something similar.

 

Iscars PH style plunger is centre cutting, but I don't know if it is recommended to drill with it.

 

As mentioned, a feedmill would also do the job nicely.
