Hello,

Using old 2001 version of Alphacam. I am machining some labtops with a very hard very chippy laminate. This stuff cuts o.k with a pretty fast feed rate ( 600 ipm). As soon as I get to the outside radius corners ~4" rad, the feed rate slows down and the bit and or laminate starts to heat up and chips. The straight cuts are nice and crisp. I am using a combo shear solid carbide from onsrud one pass. I am using ccw feed like I do with melamine all day long. My rpm set at 80% of 18000rpm or ~ 14500rpm. I tried to adjust outside corner feed rate in the machine dropdown under edit machining. This will not apply to the toolpath...Any Clues?

Thanks Ben
