Yes, I did search the forum. But my Australian mm to your American weird inches confuses me. Not to mention some of your dont use easel.
I have 18mm 6061 Aluminium. I’m wanting to cut it using a 1/8 bit (3.175mm).
I used the “Recommended” settings in easel which came to 22 hours. Someone please tell me this isn’t true.
I pretty much always have my Dewalt router setting 3-4 who knows what they mean, not me. But it’s in the middle so seems like that’s what I should have it on.
Easel recommends:
FR: 124mm/min
PR: 76.2mm/min
DOC: 0.1mm
Total Machining time 22h 38min. I don’t have that long someone tell me I can go to 6-900FR and .5DOC
I have a 2 flute endmill (the one inventables sells).
I always deal in hardwood, never metal, so this is new to me. I’d rather not test on a 22 hour cut.
