    One suggestion on ramping.
    Instead of half the feed rate, both major manufacturers (amana and whiteside) recommend feed rate divided by cutters. So for a 2 flute, yeah its half feed rate, but for a 3 flute the plunge is 1/3rd feed rate, or 1 flute it is feed rate same as plunge.

    I would say those bits werent actually moving at 1000 ipm, because your toolpath was short. It takes time to speed up, and then slow down in a short distance. Just like trying to drive a Corvette around a city block, you're never going to get it up to speed, because the distance is just too short before you have to slow down to take the corner.
    If you really want to see 1000 ipm, do an 8 foot long straight cut in that plywood.

    this video was pretty inspiring. there is something that seems wrong.
    if your bit is going perpendicular to the plane, it seems like you are putting lots of force in the bit pushing it forward. seems liek there is room for faster debris excavation. but it isn't clear how. the more you reduce the cutting head's material the weaker it will be. but if you can create basicly laminite strips of the tool going down the path without having the cnc itself rotate- it would be able to be run much much faster.
    but there is somehting about the difference between going with grain and against, and with debris....

    What bits are you using and why are they making such a high pitch whining sound? When im cutting cabinets I stopped getting that loud whining sound when i swapped to good bits from vortex or frost cnc. Amana bits use to sound like that, not saying amana makes terrible bits and they definitely make some specialized stuff, but frost and vortex seem to be on a different level. Not saying they're really quiet, but they sound good when they cut.

    Can you explain why the bits didnt break when you run it faster than recommended chip load? I thought running faster than the recommended would break the bit cause the bit is slammed into the wood as it cant cu fast enough

    • @cutting-it-close
      @cutting-it-close  3 месяца назад +1

      Over a longer period of time, running a bit that fast may cause it to break faster. Remember, friction and vibrations… so a bit running over the recommended chipload is going to have a less good cut quality and going to have some deflection because it’s taking off so much wood at a time. It would be better to run at the correct chipload for the longest life. It does get the point across that bits are much stronger than you think!

      @@TrolloTV Machine is an avid 5x10 with a 6.4hp spindle. 1/4" bit, down cut, on pocket plunges and profile operations. Roughly anything over 45ipm 18000 rpm and over 1/8" cut depth. Down cut is not Ideal for these operations and needs to run a bit slower because of poor chip evacuation. It's necessary for the cut quality needed on the face of the part. I'm profiling at 36ipm 18000rpm now. To solve the pocketing issue I use a very long ramp so by the time the ramp is done the bit is only taking the 50% step over and not the whole diameter. 65ipm 18000rpm after the ramp works fine. Both cuts are still =< .125" though. It feels very slow but at $40 a bit and a starting business yet to turn a profit I can't afford to be smashing piles of them testing at the moment.

But I cut hardwoods using a rougher then come back with a finisher. This avoids tear out, leaves a clean edge and a makes sanding much easier.

Works great, and the compression bit packs sawdust behind it as it goes holding the piece in place, eliminating the need for tabs.

    I think you fooled yourself I doubt that it hit 1000 ipm the cut paths ramp up to the feed speed from the starting point and ramp down before corners simply because the stepper motors or Servos cannot just slam into 1000ipm from a stand still they can't even slam into 100imp for the matter, it is programmed into the motor drives to match the motors you can't defeat that without damaging your machine. you could have probably put in 10,000imp, and it wouldn't have made a difference because your cut paths were too short to hit the speed setting in your cam software or gcode. just fyi.
