we drilled 3550 hloes in pre h/t 4340, using 1/16 dia. guhring drills 5/8 dp. changing the drill every 70 holes. with only 4 broken drills.
$8.44 per drill. then we tried a cheaper drill on the next part. $ 1.75 per drill same speed and feed. 3550 holes 20 broken drills. $500.00 t0 burn out the broken drills. I think the extra money for the drills pay for them selves.
give your sandvik rep a call they have a grade of insert for inconel, also kyocera has a good grade. we use the sandvik insert to cut inconel augers on our 4th axis with good success.
Does any body out here use lagoon milling machines with a universal head.I am looking to purchase a machine with a 3 meter x travel.I would like some input on quality and reliability. The other option I have is Nicolas Correa, but one of our competitors is having drive problems with the correas.any input would be helpful. thanks
thanks john:
I see how it works now.I thought it would use sub programs like the fadal post does ,it seems to be easier and alot less lines.
thanks again
