I feel silly that I didn't think of turning the stuff in reply to the
original query! I'm so accustomed to casting and soldering pieces. I
was wondering what alloys of tool steel hold up best to working
titanium. I spoke with a dealer of titanium watches (Boccia) and he
told me that the most expensive part of manufacturing titanium objects
was the tooling and the fact that titanium can wear it down very
quickly. I saw an ad for Grobet Valtitan files and they claim to be
good for filing titanium. What kind of turning inserts or brazed tools
work well on the lathe and how quickly do they wear down, etc? I have
never turned metal on a lathe but would love to learn someday. Once I
get some practice on other metals, I will definitely try titanium.
Thanks for the great input I've heard so far on this thread. Juliet
