And well it should be. This is the one that may break the camels back, right???

Gosh, I sure hope not.

 

[Nautilusfan]

Awww shucks.

And here I was thinking "Naughty Peng" is a catchy phrase for a pair of blocks. Can't think of anyone better to share a CC run with. Two Tennessee bound blocks being worked together? What are the odds?

Bahahahaha "Naughty Peng" ...... Perfect Right back at you Peng!! Pretty cool they're going to reside 50 miles apart

 

[kkiet]

Gosh, I sure hope not.

Maybe Corey should do yours first??? Just kidding everything will be fine.

[custom-classic]

Sorry for such a late update..... Things got a little weird around here tonight...

After I sized the blocks, I had to scramble around and make some parts for a guy that's trying to get his new mod dialed in, just how he likes it.


Anyhow,... Peng's block was a pleasure to machine,...... compared to Nauti's block....


Man,...that stuff is hard...

What was I thinkin'???

The devil's own alloy!!!



Face millin' was a nightmare.... I can only imagine what boring the holes is gonna be like...


Pray for me???

 

[Nautilusfan]

Well that's not good Never like to see the term "nightmare" Sent you a PM

 

[custom-classic]

All good, my brotha..... We'll cimb this mountain,......together!

I can already tell this is not an alloy I'm gonna wanna work with, a whole lot though...

We will get there,....albeit, a little slower than normal... Gotta try new things sometimes, right???

 

[custom-classic]

And, also,.....when I say, "a little slower than normal",.....I don't mean, as in,... take more days to complete..... I'll stay on track, one way or another...

 

[Nautilusfan]

Dont kill yourself with this Corey! Too many people counting on you

 

[BobC]

I'm guessing that's the 7068?

 

[Nautilusfan]

I'm guessing that's the 7068?

Yep....It is The devils own alloy according to Corey

 

[BobC]

LoL, it's supposed to be harder then Titanium, you owe Corey a new mill

 

[Nautilusfan]

LoL, it's supposed to be harder then Titanium, you owe Corey a new mill

I very well may before it's finished

 

[Chowderhead1972]

Corey: I was going to ask you about face milling 7068. I have the same machine as you know and I really don't like to go over 1/2" and 3mm passes at that. I can't imagine the noise alone of a 2" flycutter on our machines.... Mine screams with 5mm cuts with a 1/2"end mill.

 

[custom-classic]

Heya, Tom! I'm using a 2-1/2" face mill, with indexable cutters. I'm only taking 10 thou. at a time. I started off trying to take 20, but it was hateful... Slow and steady....
You could take more, especially with flood coolant, I'm just looking at tool life, and trying not to knock the mill out of tram...

3mm DOC??? that's dang near 125 thou.... Das a deep cut!

 

[RGLP4Lyfe]

This run will be in my prayers until its finished.

 

[rudy4653]

So what is the day to day advantage of the 7068 over the 7075 for the average user?
Is it that much harder and bulletproof to warrant higher cost and wear & tear on milling equipment?
Just curious.
