milling 3/16" slot 1.25" deep in steel
I set my bridgeport up to cut a thin slot in a piece of steel. So far I
have only broken bits. I dont know much about hardness but the material I am using has a black coating. Not sure what that is. But I started off with a 1/8" endmill taking very light cut at a very slow speed. I am having no luck. Additionally, I need my slot to be deeper than the endmill itself. What I am doing is setting up a 2 brackets to hold a 1/8" x 1.25" x 12" long cutting bar. I am sure there has to be an easier way but it might take more pieces than cutting from one. Any suggestions? Thanks |
