What would be an optimal DOC setting to cut a 0.150 wide slot that is 0.321 deep in 6061? Slot is open on one end.
Currently I'm taking a 0.040 DOC at 30ipm with good flood coolant. I have 130 of these to do and am wondering if I couldn't speed up the process quite a bit.
I'm using a 1/8 MariTool 3-flute ZrN endmill and max spindle on this VF2 is 7500rpm.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
