Correction. Today the speeds exceed 10 times faster vs HSS . Normal HSS bottom out at around Vc 25 m/min , With the right HS-Co probably Vc40m/min would be a maximum (in steel) . Nowadays every insert , regardless of shape , manuafcturer , form , size , coating and radius , chipbreaker , relief angles , holder angle , application can hit at least Vc 180 m/min (this is just under 5 times faster). Hovewer any reputable brand can hit at least a Vc of 300 m/min . The top brands recommend up to almost Vc 700 m/min in STEEL !(about 18 times faster than HSS-Co) . Vc 350 to 500 Is a regular range for machining steel , with the right tool , and a machine that is capable and rigid .
Hi , Good day. Would you be interested in outsourcing some of the punches / dies manufacturing to tool shops in India? We have the capability at a much more competitive price.
