For a future production job my company plans to use a carbide corner rounding end mill (possibly coated) with a .140 radius on 36in long bars of 4340 steel. This type of cutter is available from Harvey tool and can be custom made by helical tool, however neither manufacturer provides info on how to attain proper speeds and feeds. I'm assuming that you wouldn't run this type of cutter at the same SFM as a standard end mill. Any chance someone can point me in the direction of accurate applications info and guidelines for using this type of cutter in a vmc.
Thanks,
Tom
