Hi guys,

I am currently machining some Nylon 6 material, 25mm thick, using a 6mm diameter twin flute, up spiral carbide cutter, with a 30mm cut length.

My question is - what would be the ideal pass depth for Nylon 6, im currently taking off 2mm. Also what feedrate and rpm would you recommend for this material??

I am snapping tools and there seems to be a lot of vibration when i cutting the material, ive tried slowing the feedrates/rpm and this has improved a little.

Any answers would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks :)
