Turning titanium on a CNC lathe
Turning titanium on a CNC lathe
(OP)
I'm trying to find out what the best tooling is to machine titanium (grade 2) on a CNC lathe and CNC mill. I'm currently using uncoated carbide inserts and tools. Is there anything that I can use to increase speeds and feeds without warping the part? Thanks....

I'm an expert on super alloy machining.
Look into turning (finishing) with PCD diamand tipped inserts,if you feel like it talk to Seco Tools.
