check out a 1/4" 5-Flute Variable pitch tool w/.020 radius (.500 loc) works very well. Go to www.1helical.com and download the catalog - go to page 38 and you will see the HEVR-5 Series and the tool diameter/length options. Speed and feed - The key here will be to run a "light"rdoc (.015-.020)...
Wow, I found my answer and company I will give my business too!
Called Helical, they gave me speeds and feeds right away. I bought endmills from them and they are working better than I have ever seen! Running 1/2" tool in 304 SS at 48 IPM @ 635 sfm (.100 rdoc/.75 adoc) with trochoidal milling...
I would encourage you to look at this very cool engraving device. You can use it on a CNC machine and with it being "spring loaded" tool breakage is minimal....Great product!

Hello,
I am interested in finding speeds and feeds for High Speed Milling with Solid Carbide Endmills in such materials as 300 Series Stainless Steels, High-temp Alloys and Titanium
Any help or lead will be appreciated!
