Sorry if this is a bit OT, but I'm stuck. I have EMC2 running and my CNC machine assembled and now it's time to try cutting. I want to focus on wax and wood and start with some pine. I'm using a Dremel for the spindle.
I've been reading the CNC forums and various websites but I cannot figure out what kind of endmills I need. Can anyone give me some pointers? Is there a beginner's guide on the web somewhere? All I want to do at this stage is: - cut objects in pine - expect to break a few endmills so looking for cheap - want to avoid junk endmills - not sure when you would use a ballnose mill - difference between endmills for roughing and finishing I expect to be cutting parts that are perhaps 20 - 30mm on each side with the smallest feature perhaps 2mm. My scrap pine for testing is 3/4" thick so I guess I have to do some pocketing before cutting. thanks, Andy -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
