Thanks guys for all the suggestions and help I ended up calling the Dataflute place about and gave me a bunch of help and are sending my school some sample endmills to experiment with. A great group of guys. Plus they gave me a good estimate on my Speed, Feeds, and DOC.
However I do have one more question for you guys. I am using mastercam can I simply create a box with the height being the circumference of the rod we will be engraving/embossing on. Then toolpath it and once posted simply change the Y Axis to the A axis? |
