I cant really use coolant because i am doing it on a bridgeport and some of the
lexan i use has a paper coating,also its for lockheed martin and its cannot have scratches of any kind.i found that the best speed for the 3 inch saw was
300 rpm i did have it a lot higher and it melted really bad.Im also pretty sure i took the set out of the cutter,now the beeswax idea hopefully could help
because that would'nt be noticed,so if i can get some i'll give it a try.thanks for all your help its hard to find many people who cut a lot of different plastics.
the shop i work for does about 90% plastic products and i have been there for a year now and have machined some plastic in my 20 years experience but it has mostly been done with metal products. |
