Nice looking machine. <Maybe a cutting tool with a spiral cutting edge would clear the chips. If not, maybe the pressure side of your table vacuum could be used to blow the chips out. Harbor Freight has a laminate cutter that is usually around $20 and seems to be easy to make a mount for.\ bob mcknight Phoenix Az To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Ron Ginger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date sent: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 09:49:11 -0500 Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Wood Router clearing chips Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] Ive just finsihed a new wood router to make model parts. It is 16"x32" and I want to do most of my cutting with the smallest possible bit- Id like a laser, but thats another project. Im going to cut mostly thin stuff- 3mm plywood, 1/16 basswood and some plastic sheet. I have ground a single lip 1/16" dia tools and it cuts very well at about 15 in/min and .100" deep But it leaves the cut path tightly packed with chips. It cant be cutting clean with all those old chips stuck there. What will help clear the chips? I treid slower feeds, but then the chips burn and smoke, obviously worse. I tried faster and the tool seems to 'swin' around a bit, causing errors in the cut line.
