Metal man, not at all used to cutting ply/MDF. But need to cut some fairly complicated profiles.
Could anyone generalise on cutter types and speeds/feeds for me please.
Need to cut 12mm ply profiles and MDF in 3D.
Have normal metal 2/3/4F HSS & Carbide. My best results in ply seem to be 5-10 mm dia. 3F Carbide. But still tearing the laminations a little. (Is there a technique perhaps? Climb milling?) or would I be better to buy dedicated router type bits for this??
Getting expensive experimenting!
