When routing MDF, i seem to be getting a lot of paper left on the edge that is a pain to clean off.
What speeds/feeds do you recommend for MDF? I have been doing about 25 IPM with0.25 depth of cut with a 1/4" 4 flute carbide bit.
Also, i notice that the MDF has a tendancy to split along the laminations when doing detailed/thin pieces, like when doing thin letters on a sign. Is there any good way to avoid this? would shallower cuts help?
As a final question, it seem that the machine slows down signifiacantly when going around curve when doing offset cuts. is there any way to keep the speed around a curve consistant with normal machine feed rate? I was routing MDF this weekend and for the detail work it actually slowed down so much that the dust heated up and started burning!
