| Machining Bakelite
Does anyone have experience of machining Bakelite?
I've aquired some lengths of 3/8" Bakelite and wondered how well the stuff machines. The only info I can find online suggests carbide tipped tools, no lubricant and
for milling, a high speed and coarse feed should be used, and if possible, remove all the material in a single cut as light finishing cuts produce a torn appearance.
