Cutting Aluminum with a CNC Router Part 2 / CNC Router Beginner to Pro EP8.
Here comes the second part of cutting aluminum with a CNC Router. There is a lot of detailed information especially in the first part where I try to explain the relationship of surface speed to bit diameter as well as the chip load to feed rate relation. No worries no mathematical calculations this will all be a bit more easy to understand as I try to work with pictures instead.
My endmill suggestions come from my own experience over the years. The all around winner because of its versatility and capability is the Datron 4in1 single flute router bit. There is also a roughing bit that I really like it is virtually uncloggable and eats through any material thickness at any speed.
Towards the end of the video I machine the holder for my tool touch probe, now these are beginner settings even though I don't mention that. My machine can in some of the operations go 8 fold that feed rate at 24k rpm.
One big tip will be at the end, as I explain that the depth of cut (DOC) has no impact on the chip load.
