Hey guys,
It's been quite a while since I last worked with carbon fiber. Last time, I used carbide, it was a simple feature in only 1 or 2 pcs. This time around, I need to mill a face roughly 2"x2", average depth of 1/16", in 50x pcs, and decided to go with PCD for tool life. My thought was to run this dry with a shop vac as to not contaminate my coolant, and have the shop vac outside, the hose is long enough. Thoughts on this? If this ventilation is "good enough" for this run, what would you suggest for speeds and feeds, keeping in mind it'll be dry? I appreciate any input on this.
