Wow! I’m impressed! I’d think titanium would be too hard.

What endmill, HHS or Carbon?

Nice! Did you use any coolant?

I think the movie industry has led people to believe that Titanium is super strong and unbreakable…That door is made from solid titanium, you’ll never get through it! type thing

Well… they like to use it for armor in Thunderbolts.

But after a brief search it’s about as strong as iron, just lighter.

Which depending on application allow one to use more of it without the weight penalty of iron
