Hi Gents, please could you assist in giving me the approximate spindle speeds, feed rates and depth of cut for cutting mdf. I am currently cutting with 5 and 6 mm cutters and it seems to be burning the wood.
My spindle speed is difficult to measure but is between 15000 and 25 000 rpm. My feed rate may be the problem as it is quite slow, 500mm / min = about 20ipm. I am cutting at a depth of about 4 mm per cut for both the 5mm end mill double fluted carbide cutter and 6mm double fluted router cutter.
Appreciate your help in advance
Thys
