I'm running a Whitney 5/32" bullnose cutter in 6061 to put a bullnose all the way around a ~5" x 20" part. I actually don't know what the practical limits are for HSS cutting 6061. I'm running 1,300 SFM right now, and all seems well. I'd like to go faster, of course, but I don't want to prematurely dull this expensive cutter. I have several hundred parts to make.
Anybody running HSS in 6061 at "very high" SFM's?
Thanks, and regards.
