If you are using carbide inserts on tools, then you can take a look at manufacturer's suggested parameters for cutting speed (in school they told that steel is ok for 150-200 m/min, depends on the insert), feed per rev and cutting depth. Those could be starting points that you might adjust, if your machine vibrates too much etc. > Secondly, is it worth buying something like this? How much approximately does it cost? IMHO it is worthy for first few weeks (and it gives you 30 day trial) to learn few basic use cases, then the rest would be based on that experience. I still think that manufacturers of inserts will provide some recommended parameters for surface speed, feed per rev and cut depth in their catalogs etc. Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
