High Speed Cutting of Al.Alloys
High Speed Cutting of Al.Alloys
(OP)
We are machining lot of AA2014 & 2024 Aluminium Alloys in our CNC mills - but at spindle speeds less than 5000RPM and with flood coolant. We are planning to procure a high spped spindle attachment for speeding up production. Has anybody machined these alloys using high speed cutting? If so at what RPMs? Should one use dry machining or wet machining?

Bigger RPM you can use for small dia of tools. Good Luck Libor Pírko
