Glad to hear you got through the billet, While its not pertinant to this conversation I thought I might mention how I cut titanium in case you get in some thin .100 thick Ti that needs cutting.
I turn the blade backwards on my woodcutting bandsaw and friction cut with it. I can usually cut about 1 inch a second and mostly cut straight lines, sounds crazy but works very well.
