Slower Spindle Needed

[njhussey]

Hi Simon,

I machine Acetal at about 15k to 24k depending on the speed I'm running at and whether I'm pocketing or trochoidal milling etc. so spindle speed isn't an issue. I'm guessing that you can't run at the feed rates needed for these speeds? What feed rate are you using, what's the max feed rate you can use etc?

Hi Neil,



This is a car badge that I struggled a little with pick up on the tool, it seemed difficult to get enough feed rate. I have no coolant set up which is probably the route cause. I was thinking it would be easier to swap the Makita palm router when needed than introduce adequate coolant.

The badge was a repair for a friends Micro car.
