    As a data point, I've been cutting titanium with standard High Speed
    Steel endmills with great result, machining out shapes from sheet
    stock. An old machinist friend feels that people fear working with
    titanium, when it isn't that difficult in practice. So I'd just use
    a jewelers saw, or shear to cut your sheet.
