  • When using AH750, reducing cutting speed by 20 to 30% is effective for extending tool life.
  • While air blow is recommended, water-soluble coolant will be good for stainless steel, titanium alloy, and heat-resistant alloy.
  • When chattering occurs with low rigid machines or settings, reduce cutting speed and feed at an equal rate.
  • When chattering occurs with long tool overhang, reduce cutting speed and feed by 20 to 40% (VariableMeister is recommended for such operations). I GRADE PRIORITIES FOR SOLID CARBIDE ENDMILLS In most cases the best performance can be attained without using coolant for specific grades. However, it should be noted that if for any reason coolant must be used, it could possibly affect tool J life and sometimes cause insert failure, due to thermal shock.
