The alloy he used is essentially identical to that used for dental implants (Ti6Al4V ELI, where the ELI means very low purity limits on iron, C & O interstitials). Interesting that you bring up the coolant -- using tungsten carbide water cooled burs (bog standard dental stuff), this titanium alloy cuts very easily. By contrast, chrome cobalt (the stuff we make partial denture frameworks from), is harder than hell.
