Hi Mike, I've been corresponding with some tooling companies and they have recommended black silicon carbide mounted points for grinding.
Other than that, other companies have also tried to dissuade me from grinding brass.
We've tested diamond end mills on brass material yesterday, and...
Hi JNieman, so if the diamond end mills are used for other purposes other than milling their tool life will be shortened?
Will this also apply to using them on the wrong materials?
I've also read that to obtain better surface roughness after milling, grinding with black silicon carbide mounted...
Interesting, I'll see if we can test it out with high speed tool steel.
However, meanwhile we still have to test diamond end mills for milling the slots.
Would this course of action be recommended, since we are now using diamond end mills instead of diamond mounted points?
Or should I go...
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
We are trying to do jig grinding using the KERN Pyramid Nano, and perhaps possibly milling for the finishing cut.
For High Speed Steel, we have not tried it yet, as we want to test diamond tools first as they have longer tool life, etc.
So using diamond mounted...
Hello,
I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if I made any mistakes in posting wrongly.
To start off, we have recently tried to test diamond tools to improve surface roughness on brass.
We have to improve the surface roughness of the brass slots, which are 1.5mm in diameter. The current...
