    hey guys
    I am looking at using some 1/4" CF hard sheet for parts in paintball markers
    Would using flood coolant be OK to use
    Also what depth of cuts should I use , I am going to use the following cutters DIAMOND CUT - UPCUT - FC - ROUTERS between 3/32" and 1/8 dia

    I machined some 1/4" cf plate recently for a radio control helicopter I am building. My setup is Dremel Advantage mounted to the quill of a Bridgeport CNC. My skill level is hobbyist and speed wasn't as big a factor as quality. With a 1/16" carbide burr spinning 30K RPM I cut full depth at 10 IPM. I had an air blast nozzle (no liquid) and manually held a shopvac nozzle to help suck the dust.
