Milling Carbon Fibre

[Leigh @ Kodiak]

So I really think we need to speed up our carbon machining. We would need drills, endmills and slitting saws. Does anyone have some recommendations for companies to look into for tooling? Also, any carbon fibre machining tips in general would be appreciated, as this material is completely new to me.

I would recommend getting in touch with your local Onsrud representative. They have been extremely helpful in our shop with these applications.

We use AMAMCO http://amamcotool.com/ here. they are pricy, but well woth it for production. We are even able to use dynamic milling paths with there compresion cutters. drills are nice to with no delam and 300-400 holes.

We use PCD cutters. There's a decent selection of them. Everyone I talked to 'round here does the same. We also use flood coolant to cut down the dust. The finish is great!
