You''ll be hard pressed to find a technique that will get a higher material removal rate. The reason for this is that you''re cutting in the direction where the tool is strongest. Side milling pushes on the tool in a cantilevered way, whereas plunge milling directs the cutting forces straight up into a rigid spindle.

Finally, the key to machining hard materials, like many things in the world of machining, comes down to tooling and toolpath choices. Almost any machine that can handle steel can handle hard materials, but the proper machinist and proper CAM choices is the only way to succeed.

The principle behind dynamic milling in relation to hard milling is the light, constant engagement of your tool into the material. No sharp plunges, smooth constant force. Most of the major CAD/CAM packages out there now have some form of dynamic milling. For more specifics on dynamic strategies see my recent blog post on the subject.

Milling these materials requires highspeed machining centers that are set up for hard milling, along with CAD/CAM that has been programmed accordingly. Using the latest solid carbide end mills along with proper toolholding, workholding, feeds, speeds and cooling, mold manufacturers can reliably and economically produce complex molds.

Buying wheat berries can be cheaper than buying the equivalent amount (in weight) of flour.Especially when you buy in bulk. So in the long run, milling your own flour could save you a lot of money. However, this will be dependent on what you have available in your area though, so it''s worth checking out beforehand. #3: Freshly Milling Your Grain Often Gives You More Choice

Hard machining plays a very important role in mould and die making, but is also considered a major challenge. In recent years, some progress has been made in this area with the development of milling cutters which are an alternative to timeconsuming EDM and grinding and enable a process which can be faster, more precise and more economical.

Hard milling capability, he adds, is also a boost to machining shutoff surfaces on one side of the mold to a "negative stock" condition. This leaves a slight gap between mating mold surfaces, thus greatly reducing the time and effort to do the final alignment and adjustments (spotting) of the mold when it

My tips for Alaskan style milling 1) Clean the log of as much grit and bark as you can and clear sufficient working space around the log. 2) if at all possible, get the log up off the ground onto gluts or sawhorses so you are milling in as standing a position as possible. on really hard wood, if the log is partially dry, remove the first 6

Components of Hard Milling. Hard milling uses a combination of several key technologies that can be egorized into components. These components are defined as the machine tool, the CAD/CAM system, the toolholders, the cutting tools and the knowhow.To be successful at hard milling, these components must come together in what can be called The Circle of Technology as illustrated in Figure 1.
