I am using a Bosch colt router (variable speed) and mostly 1/8" upward spiral flute bits. The problem I seem to be having is that the material being cut by the bit stays in the toolpath and I have to constanly vacuum it out.
I don't want to leave the material in the toolpath so that the bit has to run up against it again on the 2nd or 3rd pass.
I mostly use baltic birch ply and have tried running the router at various speeds. Is there a set rule on what the speed of a router bit is in relationship with the feed?
Thanks,
Bill |
