Title: Machining titanium advice
Post by: Melvang on Sun, 20 November 2016, 20:02:37
Looking for a bit of advice for working some titanium.  I have a piece with 6 holes measuring about .106" in some .080" material.  I need to open these up to 1/8" to glue in some neodymium magnets.  Any suggestions for what bits to buy?  I feel like this is to much material for a proper machining reamer, but not enough material left for a drill bit to cut properly without chewing up the bit.  Please help, I can't replace these. 

Side note, if there really isn't a good way to go about this, an alternate path would be countersinking these holes.  Any tips on what kind of countersink to buy?  I don't need angle, I have that covered.
