New start

[Davek0974]

I would try at whatever setting you and your machine are comfortable with to start ;)

V-bit are awkward for feed/speed as the diameter is not fixed so the speed will only ever be correct for one part of the tool. Wood is very forgiving and people do this every day so we know it can work. If using router bits, they sometimes come with recommended settings on the pack and routers are generally high speed so these tools would suit the spindle well.

Its all a matter of breaking tools and learning - I shudder to recall how many new carbide bits i smashed when learning the settings, its a sharp lesson when you put a new £15 tool in and it only cuts 5mm before going in the bin :)

Oooh.. sounds promising. With no local suppliers for new bits I might err on the cautious side ;)

Try to buy some Chinese bits ,a dozen of them in different size there is no way to avoid braking some of them, was In procedure of eliminate some router bits before I sell my previous CNC,lol.
No matter what the calculators says about speed and feed it also has to to with your machine's settings as Davek already said. So better to brake some cheap bits than to see to cry for the expensive ones....
I can't recall how many times I stamp a bit in a wood and Plexi because I forgot to zero Z axis!!! ,:-P

This was my plan. But since Sweden has new import charges Im searching for a eu supplier. Shipped from Germany would be nice and fast :)
