tim if you have air blast i would turn off the coolant and see what kind of tool life you get i only run coolant on alum i have noticed that with the coolant on in steels i was getting thermal fracture on the endmill but if you are going to run coolant be sure the tool is not starved for it use TSC if you have it glad to see you got the time down

tim are you using coolant?

colin do you have a spreadsheet or any numbers that have worked for you that you could share with me? still trying to get more out of my cutters would like to see where i am with them. i know i need to apply chip thinning more than i do (but i get a nice blue chip so i dont mess with it) just need to understand chip thinning a little better sounds like you have done more of this than me tim see if you can get a varimill for the job with a good coating you could double where you are now i start at 500sfm .008chip load and work up or down from there
-
sounds like you dont have enough chip load according to the chip color in a rigid holder? i get i nice deep blue/purple chip on tool steels you could decrease the step over to 5-8% and bump up the chip load to maybe .0025

fadal has that option too if i remember right +1 jparis
