Tools Required for Machining Titanium

What kind of tools are required to machine titanium?

If you could, would you upgrade any of your current equipment?

Mostly carbide bits, and they EAT through them like nothing else. Its crazy.

For smaller lathes, it’s not possible since theres so much stress on the machine (the one I have at home is definitely not suited for ti stuff) but most industrial cnc machines can handle it. Its just the tooling.
