Machining cip composites

CIP Composite materials are easily machined
by using conventional tooling and methods.
You can use the same methods as you would
for Aluminum or Brass. CIP Composites are
machined dry. A dust mask and or work area
suction is suggested.
For lathe work, carbide or diamond tipped
tools can be used to generate a fine surface
finish. Diamond tool tips do not produce as
much heat when cutting and are suggested for
best results. CIP Composites are 100% bearing
material with no fillers and completely non-toxic.

 

Cutting Angles of Turning
Top Rake - 0° to 6° Side Rake - 5° to 8° Front Rake - 4° to 5°

Speeds for Cutting
Normal Surface finish 22 to 26 feet/second (6.7/7.9 m/s)

Speeds for Feed
First pass/roughing .015 to .035 inches per revolution (.38mm/.88mm)
Last pass/finishing .010 to .015 inches per revolution (.38mm/.88mm)
