The New Machine

[fragger6662000]

i bought 5 of the 4.2amp version and 1 failed.

I don't have an issue with chinese stuff but high voltage and currents i avoid from my previous bad experience.

Also i don't really trust anything that quotes PTP not RMS to boast there numbers. so the 5.2amp driver is only 3.7 when you get to 3.37 when you read page 9.

Ok here is a question that im sure could have many answers, Ive looked at a few calculators in the past but I do prefer the opinions of those than can, rather than some calculator that Could...
Im going to wake up the boxford today and cut some bittlet, I will be using a 6mm 2 flute endmill (this is so I can do everything I need without changing the tool), what would you suggest for the feed rate and plunge rate with a spindle speed of 2000 rpm (it will do 3250rpm max) Im looking for quality rather than speed but I dont really want to watch paint dry for any longer than needed so a compromise will be ok.
