Well I got my blade machined.
With a 4 flute 0.250 mill I took 0.075 deep cuts at 600rpms cooled with water at 1.2fpm. Left a great fi ish. You do need carbide with this stuff. My coworker a 60 year old machinist said this was the weirdest shit he has seen. I could file it with a file but it would destroy HSS and was pretty rough on carbide also. I am grinding it and the stuff is definitely different then other stuff I have dealt with including Ti.
