Thank You, guys for all the advices! I really appreciate! 2013/2/17 jeremy youngs <[email protected]>: > well then ill put my .02 in > what aluminum alloy? > what quantity of material to remove whats the power of the spindle and > whats the fastest effective machining feed of the machine?
Aluminium most probably will be 6061. Main task for the machine will be to cut parts out of 10-15 mm thick aluminium sheets for constructions of other machines I am building. Spindle power - 1 kW. I am building a milling router for my own use. Max feedrate most probably will be above 10 m/min. It depends on how will work those motors that I have. > all of that considered for 5000, 6000 series any T condition I prefer > 2 flute endmills as fast as the spindle can turn 10k is preferable :) > at about .004 feed per tooth but is this situation capable of those > numbers? I hope so. The gantry bridge has 3 m long 180*90 mm extruded aluminium profile, so it should be stiff enough - I already have built a milling router with this same extruded profile. It was just a little shorter (2800 mm) in that machine, and it really felt rock solid. The spindle will be Kress motor, variable in 5000 - 25000 RPM range. 0.004" = ~0.1 mm; that approximately is feed per tooth that I already had in mind. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel - in partnership with Geeknet, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials, tech docs, whitepapers, evaluation guides, and opinion stories.
