High Speed material removal with minimal raising
This is a video of a roughing application that is running at above 500 ipm. And yes, we can hold extreme accuracy at this speed too. If you want to compete with low cost labor, you need to embrace high speed machining. It is a complex science, but with the right programming, tooling, and machine, you can cut an incredible amount of cost out of every piece. There are lots of manufacturers that think they are running fast, but many are totally in the dark regarding what is possible today.
Set-up:
• Material: 6061 T6 Aluminum
• Cutter: Rocky Mountain Single Flute Cutter – The best of this type tested by Extreme Machining Labs
• Holder: BIG Kaiser ¾ milling chuck – Expensive and worth every penny
• RPM: 15,000 on a rigid machine
• Step over: .200
• Depth of cut: .200
• Speed of material removal: 500 inches per minute
