I came up with a stronger design for the valves I am making, but it requires that the "butterfly" valve; Stainless disc be place exactly in the center of a 3/8 rod.
The problem is the time it takes to cut these slots with a 2mm end mill. So, I got a slitting saw and that makes it better, because we cut out most of the metal. It is 1/16 inch (1.587 MM) because I could not find any 2mm saws.
Still when we try to finish the cut we are breaking too many of the 2mm end mills. They are carbide. I am wondering if the 2000 RPM is too slow for them.
I need to speed up this process if possible. It is just a 2mm slot 48 mm long passing through the center of the 3/8 stainless rod.
