RE: Any advice on Machining a conical screw
On a CNC mill, you can just 'whirl' the thread.
Or were you asking about the special challenges of machining titanium? The first one is that it's hard on tools, so you need rigid setups and you may have to change edges often. The second one is that it burns like magnesium, so you have to avoid generating fines if possible, capture and immerse the fines you do generate, and practice extra fussy housekeeping.
