Line 591:
**** CBN Inserts are expensive and delicate, they must be treated with extreme care
**** Maximum hardness ranges up to about 65HRC but values above 55HRC will cause rapid tool wear
**** Swarf will come off '''REDup HOTto 450C''' - take suitable safety precautions, consider how you're going to stop the machine if red burning-hot swarf is spraying over the controls
**** Breaking a chip is unlikely, expect birds-nesting
**** Depths of cut and feed rates should be low, ideally <0.1mm
**** Surface speeds around 7550-150100 m/min, the harder the material the slower the cut but go as fast as possible for any given job
*** Diamond tooling exists for use in hard non-ferrous materials and highly abrasive materials
**** Diamond tooling comes in PolyCrystaline Diamond (PCD) which is very expensive - more so than CBN, and MonoCrystaline Diamond (MCD) which is eye-wateringly expensive.
