Hello,
I need some advice about machining stainless. 99% of the work I do is Aluminum. But now I need to make some special nuts out of stainless. I never machine stainless. I will buy some new YG1 endmills specific for stainless.
But which type of stainless would I need? There seems to be allot of difference about the machining quality (303, 304, 316). Some are heat treated.
As far as I know stainless nuts are made out of 304.
