When And Where To Think High-Speed Milling

On January 16, 1991, when cruise missiles started to land on Baghdad, the potential of high-speed machining was well demonstrated. That's because those missile bodies were fabricated from aluminum using high-speed machining technology.

While high-speed machining had its roots in Germany about sixty years ago, it has now proven its validity for aerospace and other critical applications. And with projections for the increasing use of composites, aluminum, and other lightweight, non-ferrous materials, high-speed milling will continue ...
