Greetings all,
I could look at manufacturer's charts until I'm blue in the face, but that's no substitute for experience. I'm looking for a feed mill in the range of 5/8-3/4 inch / 16-20 mm. Material is 316. Machine is a Fanuc Robodrill. Workholding won't be amazing, but we've got 1000s of parts to run, and I'd like to not be crawling across each part with an end mill to face off about .04 thou if I can. The part is a plate about 10 mm thick, and I think I'd be better off taking stepdowns...
