If its airframe grade, its probably a 6Al/4V (aluminum/vanadium) mix,

which I
would think would be better than the "normal" 3/2.5 mix. BTW, I don't

really
know what I'm talking about... my knowledge of titanium comes from the

bicycle
industry.

It is airframe grade. But there are various specs here, and I am not sure
about the stuff I have. In actual fact, the pieces I have are waste bits
from Airbus fuselage construction etc. It is extremely tough, I already
ruined one WC ( Tungsten carbide), and two ceramic sineter cutters on it.
Need tools with a different cutting angle etc. I will get back to it after
Christmas. Too busy with other things right now.

Thanks for the input though, any and all info is welcome.
