So I have a job possibly that would require me to machine off around .08 in hastelloy, with a ball endmill. The surface that needs to be cut is about 8" x 20" or so. I was going to throw 1/2 ball endmills at this but was wondering if going around 160 sfm, and .002 per tooth would be a good place to start this quote from. I dont know how much benifit I will get from the chip thinning so I am scratching my head as to get a baseline on this. Also, from you guys that have worked with this stuff, what kind of tool life should i expect out of a varimill type tool?
Thanks much
