Newbie looking at 6040 (China CNC) for polypropylene 15mm sheet

[spluppit]

Because you are using 6mm cutters from memory, I filmed a very simple job I did a day ago producing some slots. 3 Flute High Helix 6 mm Dim 6.7 wide slot, the difference is this cutter is not a ripper as you are using for roughing out, It would be considerably faster with a ripper but for this job it worked as it was.

One of the examples of this is how important coolant is and you can see what we do in industry, especially in closed slots like this where there isnt a lot of room for swarf

It's not fast and the speeds can be ramped up a fair bit if needs be, but it was adequate for the job in had without any risks. The time i had debured the previous part the one on the machine is done, so speed isnt always everything. My machine is not massively fast as its a solid way machine but that does have advantages also.
