EN 36 question

Jun 20, 2005 1 Replies

Greetings all,



I've got a gear I would like to fabricate out of EN36. Will a 5% cobalt HSS fly cutter cut this stuff if its in the annealed state???



TIA



Greg


EN36 is very soft and easy to machine in the unhardened state. I only use carbide tooling these days myself but you'll have no trouble with HSS.
