[asif3244]

Hi

Dear Gerald_D i am member since a year but was only learning, now i plan to get started, i am a Pakistani working in Abu Dhabi U A E, i will start to build in Pakistan, as import is a difficult process in Pakistan, importing in U A E is easier due to free port facilities, Laser cutting is available here in U A E but i have tried cutting with cnc router that our company import from china, i am gathering the parts at this time soon will start to build

Regards

Is that 1/4 or 6mm steel? How fast is that router turning?

according to the video comment, "3mm old steel with 4mm carbide bit"

seems to produce a slurry (for lack of a better word) rather than chips

i'm curious also about the feed rate and type of bit (straight, spiral etc)

Hi

Robin, The steel is 3mm tool is 4mm carbide G-code made in art-cam steel tool
Feed rate 60 to 180 mm/min depends on type of tool, plunge rate 50 mm/min
V F D controlled speed should be adjusted to an normal hand drill tool
