Hello all, I noticed this topic was covered in a similar post where I originally posted the question, but I don't think many people have noticed it, so I decided to repost a new thread. I am looking for advice on feeds and speeds for micro end mills. Here is some information I can provide: 1) Roku-Roku HC-548EX - Up to 32,000 RPM 2) Cylindrical die block 5" dia x 2" - 56-60 Rc, S7 Tool Steel 3) Finished part ranges from 0.25"-4"+ diameter 4) Depth of cuts ranges from 0.1"-0.7" 5) Currently using air, oil mister on the way 6) Using OSG Exocarb-WXS cutters - Ball nose, Stub length, 2 flute. Tools sizes: DIAMETERS - LOC 3.5mm (.1378") - 2.8mm (.1102") 1.6mm (.0630") - 1.3mm (.0512") 1.0mm (.0394") - .80mm (.0315") 0.8mm (.0315") - .60mm (.0236") 0.5mm (.0197") - .40mm (.0157") 0.4mm (.0157") - .30mm (.0118") 0.3mm (.0118") - .24mm (.0094") 0.2mm (.0079") - .16mm (.0063") 0.1mm (.0049") - .08mm (.0031") I know that's a lot of info, but just wanted to get all the required information for determining this out up front. We are having success with the 3.5mm-0.3mm, but would like to optimise the feeds & speeds. However, the 0.2mm-0.1mm are the two trouble makers. We've been trying different F&S for these, but getting limited success. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know! One more thing; our tools are set by a blum laser and the stock is indicated with a blum probe, both with an accuracy of 0.00001". |
