Hi.

    I'm hoping some kind person can give me some advice regarding
    machining silver as I have failed ot find the information I am
    looking for online. 

    I have a CNC mill that I want to use to machine silver. Spindle speed
    is 24000rpm. I want to use either an engraving cutter (half round and
    with an 80 x 0.003" tip), or, a TCT 1mm single flute cutter. My
    questions are, what feed rate and cut depth should I use and should
    I use lubricant, coolant or just keep the swarf clear? 

Richard.
