Appreciate your take on this. I think I am going to do my first cut this weekend, probably in Steel if my order of flat 6061 did not arrive today.
This is probably not so much about cost (at around $65 single payment for 1HP for the 770 it does not hurt having it), but more about if you listen to the output without change.
I've read some posts/videos/comments that these calculators put out too aggressive results for the low powered (1HP) machines.
So do you follow the numbers exactly or do you dial it down a bit? If you dial down; which of the numbers you actually dial down (RPM, IPM, WOC, DOC?)
The other question (excuse a newbie machinist question); if the 770 motor is known to output the maximum Torque at a certain RPM, why not just set the RPM to that number on ALL cuts, and play with the other parameters?
Thanks
