You caught me, my bad. It is .118" just under 1/8" ....Not 1/4".
I am also cutting all the way through in two passes. .06" for a total of .120" so it cut into the Carpet tape & got a bit sticky & maybe the reason it chattered. My cut starts from the exterior of the material & then goes into the material for an interior cut. So my cuts are essentially all interior cuts eventually. I'll try the clockwise method on both cuts & let you know.
I'm thinking that the material is moving a bit as well with the MDF as the surface I am mounting the material through.
I'd use a Vacuum chuck, but I don't think it will work. I am making a trapezoid shape with some slots in the middle of it so I would need a gasket around the outside shape then around the inside slots so I don't loose vacuum when I cut the slots out. I cut the slots first then the outside trapezoid shape.
I'll try slowing down the speeds as well to 12,000rpm & 70in/min (What does the 70in/min convert to in mm?)
Has anyone used the
Multi-Mat holder? It's $329 for a 24"x24" seems very expensive, but if it helps in my production runs, it may be easier than Double sided tape, especially if the tape has to be applied each time.
Thanks a bunch for your help so far.
Sincerely,
Matthew
