This is a very manageable material if you take your time and use the correct cutters. I really hope you have at least 1 inline filter on your coolant loop to get the glass out of your fluid, or your operators will be breaking out forever, not to mention the way damage. I cut a lot of LE phenolics and get amazing performance and life out of heavy burr style cutters. Try an SGS 73011. Its a FGR #9 Style A Bur. Its great for roughing and will hold up forever,
I've been trying to learn how to machine G10 efficiently, and came here searching for it. So after viewing the video I learned I need "diamond tools" (I assume you mean nano-diamond or diamond-like coating on carbide), use custom soft-jaws, which are both important but I was hoping for more... Can you recommend the feed and speed? Optimal load on the tool? Looks like you were using somewhat higher helix end mills, are those 5-flute end mills common for titanium milling? Is there a reason for choosing that geometry (or in fact, are they necessary just like diamond-coated end-mills)? Also I thought we are not supposed to use coolant, and the machine should be negatively-pressurized with an air evacuation system through advanced filtration unit to get all the fiber out. (Loc-line aiming at tool, but instead of spewing coolant they suck air along with all the fiber out). Otherwise you itch like hell, destroy your lung, and the glass fiber gets into your ways and grind them to bits... losing accuracy. It is obvious you have a much better solution, and I saw that on your comment a filtration system is keeping your machine healthy instead. How'd that magic work? It looks the sludge still drips off the table, so in theory they could deposit the glass fiber into the ways before flowing into the coolant tank. Did I misunderstood this or would you be willing to tell us where your filtration system is located? Sorry about all the questions, we are a total noob/newbie in G10 and there just isn't a lot of information (or they are all contradicting) on machining them. I hope I wasn't asking you to give your trade secret away... but any help will be appreciated!! Thanks!
Probably its me, but i dont know. Its good that you are a patriot and love america, i love Spain and im proud of it. But 11/10 words you say are america, american quality....... Its true that you do what you say. But please dont be so repetitive. Otherwise Great Videos! Great Job doing what you are doing. You are an inspiration to me
Titan, I have to drill , ream and counterbore a “one of “( not production only one chance to get it right ) a piece of green glass, .25 press fit, 5/16 press fit and 10-24 clearance holes, don’t know the exact scientific name. We have HHS jobber and cobalt drills, hhs reamers. What feeds and speeds do you recommend on that kind of material ? Have you work with it? TIA
Many of our customers won't allow coolant to be used with their G10 parts because it affects the electrical properties when there is oil contamination.
We have to run dry. We use a dust collector. In theory mineral oil shouldn't affect electrical properties, but they aren't going to try to figure out what you used.
Been using coolant for 15 yrs and never had an issue and we have a great filter that cleans the coolant. No coolant means your potentially breathing glass and that’s not good.
TITAN I know your super busy but wanted to ask the main machinist man, because I have an important interview coming up and I want to know what speeds and feeds to use on G10 also what coolant should I use brother ?? God bless

On G10 ?
I'm from the UK and I love your American made attitude, I wish we took pride in British Engineering and manufacturing...
Speeds and feeds? Drilling, milling. Dry or coolant? How about a master class on this stuff? That would be awesome

Never mind , I’m working with the exact same material! But what are the speeds and feeds tho?
Speeds? Feeds? Depth of cut? U taught almost nothing in this video
I came for G10 programmable data input😂
Hey where are you guys located?
Rocklin CA
@@TITANSofCNC Are u guys ever hiring?

SBE Precision Products what about mineral oil

Boom
Never use your hand as a hammer, unless you're a Titan !
we dont use coolant for g10 in my shop because it clogs up the screens, and once in the system the coolant will make your skin itch-burn
Been using coolant for 15 yrs and never had an issue and we have a great filter that cleans the coolant. No coolant means your potentially breathing glass and that’s not good.
G-10 is nasty. You better not have it's dust all over the shop. Coolant is needed for it.,
TITAN I know your super busy but wanted to ask the main machinist man, because I have an important interview coming up and I want to know what speeds and feeds to use on G10 also what coolant should I use brother ?? God bless
we also dont use coolant on G10
@@MrElprototipo2012 that’s trade craft . They will never give that info .
oops thought he was talking about G10 shift offset
lol
“Teaches”
California is no way America.
I was machining G10 today at work.
