General Mach Discussion / Speeds and Feeds with Micro end mills
« on: February 29, 2012, 03:24:32 PM »
Hi
I'm looking for some advice on typical spindle speed and XY feed rates when using micro end mills.
I know each manufacturer has slightly different specs so just ball park figures at this stage is fine.
I am cutting a 1 mm deep profile cut into hardwood using a 0.2mm square end mill.
What are typical feedrates for this type of cut....? Plunge rate....? and what depth for each pass...?
The end mills are too expensive to take the trial and error approach so any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Jason
