[PSUBS-MAILIST] machining titanium

[Emile van Essen]

Yes I do! Did a lot of machining with titanium alloy for spaceflight in my
former job. 

Milling and turning is a bit like Aisi 316 stainless but with even lower
cutting speed. Drilling and especially tapping treads is a problem as the
material tends to squeeze the tool. Special tool geometry might be needed.

Good luck.. Emile
