If you are looking to diversify the jobs you machine and venture into the aerospace market many of the toolpaths and cutting techniques can be used with some modifications.

Trochoidal toolpaths are available on most CAD/CAM systems, yet are rarely used or even known. By using trochoidal toolpaths and hybrid trochoidal toolpaths you can successfully machine exotic materials.

Great strides continue to be made in the cutting tool/toolholder market that result in reduced benchtime and additional handwork, as well as heavier depths-of-cut—adding up to increased productivity and higher accuracy.

Pointers specifically for where hard welds need to be milled.

Knowing the requirements of offline and online cleaners yields cleaner molds.

Effective cutting tools for the HSM of hardened die steel is an effective solution to a more profitable and easier machining process.
