How the Best Graphite End Mills Cut Graphite: Understanding the CNC Graphite Milling Mechanism
A client recently approached our shop with a frustrating graphite electrode milling failure. Their CNC program produced clean results on the first few parts, but edge chipping quickly escalated, fine dust spiked, dimensional tolerances drifted, and surface finishes deteriorated. What baffled them most was that they were already running carbide cutting tools within standard machining […]
