[QUOTE="Generic Beardy, post: 172721, member: 5497"] I have machined it a few times - so can't claim expert status but can tell you what I have done/found so far. Tools need to be very sharp and kept clean. Any build up on the tool starts smearing/melting the workpiece. I've used gt85 as a cutting lubricant with it and that seemed to work ok. If things are still getting too hot I've rigged up my airline with a blow gun clamped to blow on the workpiece and that kept it cold and workable. All very Heath Robinson but seemed to work for me. Also, some friends of mine who waterjet//laser cut say it laser cuts well. [/QUOTE]
