The machinists that I know look down at Haas as the "Aluminum Machines". Does anyone use a Mini Mill for steel or stainless work? I'm not talking high production runs. Just under ten part batches removing 1 to 3 cu inches of metal per part. Facing, grooving and pocketing. No time limits. Need good to very good finish. Is a Mini rigid enough for this and does the spindle generate enough HP at under 1,000 rpm to to make .250 cuts with a .5 end mill? Also would you recommend coolant or oil?
Thanks,
Rick
