    On mazatrol mills we switched from an end mill to an insert endmill that way we could switch from carbide to ceramic depending on material type. Then we would flip the insert corners for the finish pass. Saved alot of money I was told.

    'When implementing tool management, make sure the machine can swap tools in the middle of a cut, or change the tool before it runs out of time. Older machines would use the tool in a 30 minute cut (for example) as long as it had 1 minute left on life...

    For true roughing I'd say carbide has the win 90% of the time. Semi roughing where you are using less of the cutting edge , be it milling or turning, ceramics probably have the win with good tool management.

    Ceramics need to be ran much faster feeds and speeds than carbide. That’s where many get too conservative and the tool doesn’t last. We had our vendors tell us the correct way to use them in our materials and our engineers balk when programming it. And dry. No coolant or the damn things will shatter

  • @DangerNugget
    @DangerNugget 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ceramic blows tungsten out of the water for parts harder than 48HRC~. I work with steel that can push 60-67HRC daily. Use to use tungsten taking 0.2in cuts at roughly 250sf/m. Now Im using ceramic taking 0.6 cuts at 350sf/m. And what's great is the ceramic can be ground back into shape to be reused much easier than tungsten. Tho on anything in the 40HRC or lower.... Lots of chatter.

    • @andredepaulagomes
      @andredepaulagomes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Never tested, but as I understand it, ceramics mills work by heating the metal so much it becomes soft, and then removing it. This heating might be bad for steel, screw up the temper, things like that...
      Or not, it's just a guess. If you find out, let me know!

    • @supah_sonic9979
      @supah_sonic9979 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tool steel is soft if u know how to cut it. If the chip is purple there’s too much heat. Blue chip is what you aim for. Never cool it with coolant as it hardens the material. Always use air blast.

      @barrysetzer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Never tried it, but I think the reason is that for a 1/2" tool, Kennametal recommends up to 3280 SFM in inconel. So I would imagine for steel it would be like 10,000 SFM, and unless you have a super speed (like 50,000 rpm+) spindle you'll never get up that high

    Can you use an old cutting piece to make a rough shape to save money ? Rather than using a new cutting piece you use an old cutting piece to get most of the metal off.

    • @randomidiot8142
      @randomidiot8142 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a fairly normal approach, using a fresher sharper tool for finishing and cycling it into a roughing 'job' as it loses its ability to make a fine finish. The problem is with more exotic materials and their tendency to work harden and be negatively affected by dull cutting tools. In those cases you just use the best, otherwise you could bite yourself in the butt with the false economy of using lesser tools on an expensive part and scrapping a work piece. Sometimes paying a little more upfront saves you big bucks down the road.
