Using my Storebro Combi-mill, (top spindle rpm 2500) - 1980s cnc mill
Just looking forward into situations I'm bound to find myself in....
For contour passes, I use 3 flute 10mm dia endmills (25mm usable cutting edge) full doc, 3mm stepover for roughing down, then to 0.2 on finishing passes. The finish has been very good. I could prob go double the stepover but haven't had the machine long enough to test it properly.
using 2D contour passes in fusion, I would like to know if its best to use a large dia endmill to rough the contour passes down. I wondering if I can get away with a 20mm dia ( 50mm long flute ) 35mm doc then go in with a 10mm dia for finishing passes.Last edited by dudz; 21-12-2024 at 08:25 AM.
