Hi
I know this has been hashed many times but I still haven't been able to nail settings down. I need to mill a .012" slot about .006" deep in 440C Stainless steel, non-hardened. My mill's max RPM is 2500. What depth of cut and feed rate do I need? I'll have a 2 flute end mill. I know from looking around I need about 100 fpm for free machining stainless. My pocket book will thank you, the endmills are about 20-25 bucks apiece.
