How to Choose the Right Depth of Cut for Graphite End Mills During CNC Graphite Machining
While optimizing a graphite electrode process for a European mold maker, we encountered a common pitfall: using a single graphite end mill at a fixed depth of cut across varying cavity depths. Initial cuts were smooth, but deeper passes caused subtle edge chipping. This micro-chipping degraded the surface finish, making the finished electrodes fail strict […]
