Hi,

I have just ordered a piece of the smallest cell honeycomb, but for one of my projects I would really like to have the material as this as 4 - 5 mm ..

Do you have any suggestions as to how I might machine it thinner?

I was considering cutting out a small section of the un-expanded stock, and then making a jig to told the piece compressed, while milling it thinner on my mill.

Does that sound like a feasible method?

Also, do you have any experience with how titanium bonds to (and into) Epoxy based composites, are you aware of any "pitfalls" with this metal?

I have successfully bonded aluminium before, using West Systems Resins, and Ti should be similar, but I'm wondering about your High Temp resin?

Cheers

You might want to PM Dravis as i doubt he would regularly look back in this forum section without prompting.
