3 D Surfacing Aluminium on a CNC Router ,07
The first two, a 6mm 3flute reduced neck flat end mill and a 12mm single edge insert mill, I prove out different feeds and speeds, giving me some excellent surface finishes (for the machine ). Having learnt a bit about the tools, I then move on to roughing and finishing a 3D surface using the 12mm insert mill and a 6mm 2flute ballnose end mill, again trying different feeds and speeds. Overall, everything went pretty well In the future I ll be making an aluminium fixture plate to securely fix the vice directly to the machine, instead of via some plywood and the vacuum bed. Tools Used: 6mm 3 flute end mill: 12mm 1 flute insert cutter: (Tool body) (Insert) 6mm ballnose end mill:
