Hi guys. I have a little project using slitting saws. Saws are 1.750 dia .040 thick with a .040 thick spacer between them. They have 90 teeth each. The material to get slotted is 6061. The questions are. Is it better to clime mill or conventional mill with them? What way will give the best results regarding a burr free surface. How fast should I turn them? What feed rate? What about lube? Also the slots are .050 deep. should they be cut in one pass or more than one? I don't have flood coolant. I have about 70 more to do and so far I am not happy with the results.
