Question.
What are some realistic settings for a good (32 or better) sidewall finish in 6061 Al with... say a 1/2" cutter. DOC, anywhere from 1X to
Machine has a 10k spindle and is 2.5 years old.
How much of a factor is the holder? Can you crank up the RPM and adjust the IPM accordingly?
Thank you,
Peter.
You own a better machine than I've ever ran....
For that good a finish with that DOC side milling; lots o' luck. Of course, try high rpm, climb mill, very sharp tool, flood coolant, adjust feed for a sweet spot. You might try posting over on alt.machines.cnc
