Hello everyone.
I just negotiated a couple of free face mills from my companies supplier.
I'll link the mills below. One is a 3", 9 flute. The other is a 2", 7 flute. I'm aware these mills were intended for machining centers.
Anywho, Will the standard ol prototrak bridgeport clone have enough ass for these? Material is soft A2/D2, occasionally 4140.
by my calculations using 310SFM and a .004" chip load;
the 3" will run at ~400RPM@14IPM. 400mm/m for the continental types.
the 2" will run at [email protected]. 420mm/m.
That sounds like alot of action for the machine. Is it recommended to run at the high end of low gear? Don't want to ask for a batch of inserts after the first attempt lol.
all advice appreciated. Just an apprentice doing apprentice things.
Many thanks
