What's your favorite Plunge mill? I use a .625 dia inserted replaceable head high feed mill from Seco, roughing a slot that is .642 wide and .375 deep some of the slots are up to 10' long, 5500 rpm 75 ipm with a .1 step over, the tool has always worked great, but we have been using it for a few years now, and I just feel it's time to look at upgrading the process, I know the 1st thought is why dont you just mill it, well we did for a while but with the fixturing and the part on the tombstone on our horizontal we just have to have to long of a reach, with the plunge mill all the force is back toward the spindle, so less side load on the cat 40 spindle and tools last longer.
