Hi guys, I read the other threads on machining copper and it looks like this stuff isn't fun to machine, we usually use tellurium copper which is pretty easy to machine. I need to machine some waveguide flanges from 101 O2 free copper, because of the size it appears as though I will need to saw the blanks from a plate then CNC mill / drill them. Is it suicide to bandsaw them out? Other than that, from what I've read I should use coated drills / mills and thick coolant? Feeds and speeds on the conservative side?
