Tool-Bending Moment

If you’ve machined titanium, or Ti 6Al-4V more specifically, then you’ve likely had an “inexplicable” tool-bending moment problem that’s made you scratch your head.

When trying to avoid future tool-bending moments, the initial knee-jerk reaction might be to opt for a shorter tool length and slower spindle speed. But that’s not always the right choice. In fact, finding this elusive “sweet spot” for tool length and speed can prove to be a challenge for many titanium machinists.

In this whitepaper, you’ll learn how the process you’re running today may slowly be damaging your machine, how being too conservative with your spindle speed and tool length may be eating up precious productivity, and how to calculate the limits of your machine so that you can balance productivity and process stability to create the greatest long-term profitability.
