Have been using Ingersoll HiPos mills for a number of years now, and overall have been very pleased with them. Have sizes .375" - .750", and absolutely love the fact that I can run 600 SFM in most materials with a .010"-.020" PER TOOTH feedrate. The problem is that we have been growing into larger and larger work and also more abusive materials. ( A lot of D2 lately ) So, I need to step up the insert size to accommodate, which means new mills bodies and inserts. ( blew up the .750" on a D2 job yesterday )( Ugly. Very ugly )
So, what do you use or have you used for the .500" - 1.0" range of mills? I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a few in the 1.50" & 2.00" sizes, but will refrain from saying what brand and model for now, in effort not to skew the results because if there is something that I like better in the smaller sizes I would also look at the larger sizes in effort to keep things the same.
Thanks for the input.
