Sandvik CoroDrill 460 vs OSG EXOPRO WX: Solid Carbide Drill Performance Compared for Steel and Stainless Steel
Solid carbide drilling is the single most punishing operation in a CNC program. The tool is buried in the workpiece, chip evacuation is obstructed by geometry rather than helped by it, and the cutting edges at the chisel point see near-zero surface speed while the outer corner runs at maximum. Two drills dominate the premium …
Aluminum High-Speed Milling End Mill Selection Guide: YG-1 vs OSG Geometry, Coatings, and Cutting Parameters for 6061-T6 and 7075-T6
Why Aluminum Milling Deserves Its Own Tooling Strategy Aluminum alloys such as 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 can be milled at spindle speeds three to five times higher than steel, yet many shops still ruin parts — and end mills — by applying steel-machining logic to non-ferrous work. The failure modes are distinctive: built-up edge (BUE), chip …
