Max Milling Depth 1

[SpaciouS]

Just wondering what the general rule of thumb is for max milling depth. 1.5" to 2"... something like that?

Thanks,
Sean

You might want to post this question in the machines & machining engr. section.

FWIW, I've seen parts made with over 5" cuts, at high speed, in a fairly hard steel. This was a pretty beefy cutter and a well-clamped part. The chips came off blue from the heat generated.
