Hi
I bought a CNC 6040 (lower quality CNC from China, 1.5kW spindle)
I will use it primarily for wood and plexiglass.
But, I need to cut some aluminium, and have a question:
I know that this machine has limited rigidness and power and lowering the feedrate will just warm up the drill bit.
So my idea is to run it with a decent/pretty fast feedrate, and just reduce the layer thickness milled per run. Down to lets say 0.2mm per layer and 200mm/min
I want to reduce the torque on the drill, so that the machine doesn't warp/bend during the run.
Is that a good idea?
Thanks
Klaus
