Hi
I am new with CNC and have a safety / cutting question.
I have been cutting 0.15" aluminum plates on my little CNC, various cuts and shapes from small holes to about a 1" hole using a 1/8" upcut bit.
Now when I cut, I always 'pocket' which takes a lot of time. I have been scared to cut as an example a 1" hole just by just cutting the inside profile since I imagine the left over metal in the center of the hole could catch the cutter and fly off (towards me) at 500 mph. Now is that the case or when cutting a inside profile of a large hole does the left over metal just fall away?
Thanks
