Preparation of .505 tensile test specimens
(OP)
I am considering the purchase of a new lathe for the preparation of alloy steel .505 tensile test samples. Is any one familiar with the CNC "TensilKut" equipment.

You might be able to send them samples for machining and then examine them upon receiving them back.

If you have to accomidate a wide range of work then a lathe will be slower, but it will allow you to do more things.

I figured that the two flute carbide wood cutting bits probably just were not up to the task, I think a better end-mill might work better, but the dang thing spins at like 20k rpm. And try and get kenna-metal or other end-mill manufacturer to suggest anything at that type of speed!
On Inconel X750 and Be360 the harder the better edge, but it wouldnt bee too hard for a practiced operator could get a good edge pretty easy.
The Tensul-kut manual machine can with a bit of practice hold the width variation to <.002" if they try, and <.005" with almost no trouble.
I could cut ~100 tensile bars (2" gauge) a day if they were 1008/1010 and other soft sheet material, especially if the thickness was <.100. The process goes much slower as the samples get thicker.
