Is'nt "Just because" the excuse our parents alwas gave us?
The need for speed is the fact that I need to route soft and hard wood. Too slow Feed rates cause the wood to get burn marks. 6 inches per minute on a 28 inch long axis would be dreadful, think about it. It'd take over 4 minutes to go from one end to the other. 12 inches per minute is almost as bad. I'll accept full length travel in a minute though, anything less would be like watching paint dry. |
