General Mach Discussion / Required spindle power
« on: September 28, 2010, 02:59:41 PM »
Does anyone know of a program that will advise the required spindle power /torque needed for a specific set of cutting parameters?
For example, 10mm milling cutter, cutting a slot (10mm wide), 5mm deep, when using, say, 1100rpm, 90mm/min feed and cutting mild carbon steel?
I only have 0.75kW (1hp) spindle motor so would like to make sure i'm well within the motor's performance when writing programming the machine. obviously a stall situation would not just stall the spindle but all my axis steppers as well - not good.
