Hello all,
Does anyone here have any experience grinding Titanium carbide? Tomorrow at work, I am going to have to start ID grinding some parts that came from the manufacturer with bores about .02 under size (Miscommunication between my boss and the manufacturer). The bores are approx 1.8" dia and about 1" deep. The setup I have to work with is a Dumore tool post grinder with 32,500 rpm spindle running a 3/4" diamond wheel from Falcon Tool Company.
Basically, what should I be looking at as far as spindle speed on the lathe, feed rate, and depth of cut. I have looked around online and haven't been able to find much. While I have a little bit of grinding experience, this is definitely way out of my comfort zone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
