This is 1040 high carbon wear plate. They are guide rails for a steel rolling mill.
First I square up the hardened flame cut sides as far down as I can go without hitting vise jaws.
Then fly cut top surface with 4" face mill which did not work so well. Started picking up a chatter and had to slow down speeds and feeds too much. Decided to go with a 2" face mill that worked bitchen'. Got a real good chip and a great finish. The plate was too hard for a big cutter. Too much contact area.
Plates had a big 45 deg chamfer along the long sides which I kellered with the tool is used in the first op then matched the ends to the first op cut.
Palletized and DONE!!!
