Machining Techniques: Are You Finished Yet? | MoldMaking
Jun 01, 2013#0183;#32;For semi finishing, we will run a #190;inch finishing ball end mill as show in Figure 4. The process is a Z level semi finish pass at 6,000 rpm, .024 IPR, which is 144 ipm with a .03 step down. We can semi finish the complete cavity to within .015 inch of finish. This will eliminate any leftover material from the highfeed roughing mill.
