I am cutting 34 RC 4140 Steel.
I use this face mill daily and I am not convinced it is running efficiently.
Running this cutter on a Haas VF2.
I currently run it at S945 F12. and DOC .090"
I am using TechMet inserts
Package is labeled as follows
"APMT160408PDER-PM GA4230"
Vc= material dependent see catalog
ap= Max .551"
f= .005(.003-.008)in/z
I tried to run the face mill at S1100 F40. DOC .090" and it blew up every insert after the 3rd pass. The inserts were brand new when I tried to run it with those specs.
Looking for help, just ordered 30th Edition Machine Handbook so hopefullly it will be here in the next couple of days, until then i rely on my fellow machinist!
ALSO, Can someone tell me how to change my material so it doesnt say "plastics" Someone told me it was a dead giveaway for newbie in a prior thread....L O L
