Default Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Best way to remember feeds and speeds is surface footage controls your RPM's (based on material being cut) then you can vary your feed to get the chip load you want, usually figured in amount per tooth. Is your CAM software programing in feed per minute or feed per revolution? Very nice finish on the parts shown, looks like you're off to a good start. Don't feel bad about going slow on your first cut with a new program. I've been doing CNC for over 20 yrs and the first part off always takes extra time. Your mill will appreciate the extra care too!
