Has anyone had personnel experience of machining Buffalo Horn on a mill? I say personnel experience because my interest is in the technical aspects of speeds and feeds.

Sharp cutters and keep things moving. It smells terrible and burns if the feed is too slow. I just made a grip cap on the CNC this Spring out of horn and seem to recall I used feeds for aluminum and a spindle speed of 800 rpm. Hope that helps. Steve

Steve Thanks Steve do you recall cutter diameter you were using at the 800 rpm?

1/4" endmill. Horn is pretty forgiving to machine really, I have done a fair bit of it and never ran in to issues.
