Ive never been a fan of using anything that looks like a keyseat or slotting cutter. Having evolved into a grown woman now and moving past the fear in slotting cutters, I plan on machining many parts from a single plate and at the end my intentions are to use a keyseat cutter or something of the like, to run around the profile of the part .700" deep but leave a small portion intact so I may break them off the sheet and continue with the manufacturing process. The shape of the part is not concentric to itself. The part layout allows for a 1/2" shank in between the parts. With a 1"dia cutter on a .5" shank, I will be engaging two parts at once in some areas and a .215 radial depth of cut. The part material is aluminum. Can anyone forsee any issues with such a large radial DOC? Im a little worried about chips stuffing up in there but there I go being an adolescent female again. Right now Im looking at a slotting cutter from internal tools but I am definitely open to suggestions. I was also thinking to have AB make me something special and try and get down to a 3/8 shank.
Thanks in advance
