Psychomill, We're cutting the actual forging dies, Finkl FX-2. Block sizes run up to 40" x 34". We're generally pleased with the finishing capabilities. It's when we need to move about 4" of stock that we think we can do better.

Thanks for all the input. Hardmill's comment brings up another issue. Being located in the backwoods of Central florida, there aren't too many tool salespersons who are knowledgeable in the type of materials that we use. (Finkl Die blocks) Generally, when the tool reps come in, everyone in the shop gathers 'round the machine and places bets on when the "Latest and Greatest" tool technology will melt down. As of this moment, the best performance comes from a 2.5" dia face mill with .5" dia button inserts(900 RPM, 50 IPM, .03 depth) but I'm sure it can be done faster. Any ideas?

Looking for suggestions. The company is wanting to buy a new CNC for rough machining of forging dies. Currently, we are using Mazak 300VTC for the cavity work, but they don't seem to be stout enough to rough mill the shanks. It's quicker to machine on the old Hydrotels. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
