Sure If you have the tools to machine such a material. You will need flood coolant with any machine operation, carbide C-2 or M42 HSS (preferably coated with TiN, TiCN, TiAlN). Keep the feed rates slow to reduce heat buildup.

Thats not an problen, i have acess to a late and a milling machine.. No advanced stuff, all by the good old hand and eyesight.Dang911 wrote:Sure If you have the tools to machine such a material.

My only worry is that titanium can be very hard on the valves, since titanium alloys are somewhat similar too stainless steel when machining.
