Hello, I have a 48 x 96" sheet of 1/2" thick Kevlar that I need to cut. My tooling guy told me to cut it like wood! LOL! Well, after 12" or so the 3/8 Carbide compression bit melted. SO much for that.
Wood I can cut, but this is something new and I'll only need to do it once every three years or so. (I'm making a plate to go in a gang rip saw that has a great life span...)
We had the Kevlar cut a few years ago by the previous owner of our CNC machine. I have his machine and all his tooling, but can't cut the Kevlar. Any help would be great!
I need to know what type of bit I need, rpm, and feed rates, with depth of cut.
Thanks in advance guys!
