Well, I know its been brought up before but I bought some 1018 CRS for a project I am working on. I dont know what I was thinking, this stuff is like turning bubble gum.
Tried carbide but cant get the SFM needed. I tried HSS and it is better but still tears. Anyone have a tool geometery they like for turning this stuff? I am limited to about 600 RPM and my work is about an inch or under.
Or should I save this stuff for something else and get some 1144 stressproof?
The finish needs to be aesthetically pleasing as the parts are exposed.
