Machining PP
Machining PP
(OP)
We have a project where we need to machine slots into an already molded part. The material is a teflon filled polypropylene. We have tried many options as far as cutter style, feeds, speeds, etc.. We are trying to minimize the burrs left after machining. Does anyone have some good recommendations on cutters and speeds?

Other options:
A slot-shaped hollow punch in a really big soldering iron. It will require manual deburring.
Cut the slot with a waterjet.
