So I am sure we have all seen the Titans of CNC video or seen it first hand perhaps. I'm talking about the glowing orange chips flying off while high speed machining the outside of a cylinder. Particularly an Inconel cylinder with ceramic tooling. So are the numbers in those video to be trusted and used for production? I am assuming not considering they were probably just going insanely fast for entertainment and awe factor. What SFM, chipload and radial stepover do you guys recommend? I have a Kennametal KenCut™ HT EADE Radiused 6 Flute Ceramic endmill coming it's 3/8 diameter with .281 LOC. I am going to be roughing the back side of an Aerospace cover that will be mounted to an aluminum fixture block held inside a v562 5th axis vise. It's being held with 6 Brass(not my idea on mtrl) #10 fine thread screws and banking on three .125 dwl pins. along with support from the fixture throughout the ID radius of the cover...Anyway please let me know this is my first time with a ceramic cutter.
