Hello.
I need to cut a logo into a stainless plate about 2mm max depth…anyone might know good bit to do this? 1/8, 3/16 preferred.
Tnx!
I mill a bunch of stainless on a manual milling machine, and I must say that keeping proper chip load is key. Especially since you’re likely not running flood coolant (but correct me if I’m wrong). I usually run a 4FL 0.25” carbide w/ coating, since I often snap or cook the smaller diameters from overheating on my manual mill.
Just note that 316ss is about 20 points higher in HRB than 6061-T6.
Post your results because I’d like to know for possibility for milling SS on my PRO machine.
Best of luck
