I am working on a final part for school. My last day to machine is Friday...
I am currently working on a part that requires surfacing top and bottom, then Wire EDM in 7 stages. (inside pockets, and then the outside contour)
here is a pic in solidworks.
My problem is-
I was running 7500rpm and 400 IPM and I had to stop it after 3 hours of running.
Both Rough and Finish are Radial from center...
Rough had a 1* stepover.
the finish has a 0.025* stepover.
Is there a FASTER path I can take?
Machine is a VF2 Haas. 7500rpm max. 1000IPM. High speed is programmed into the panel as well.
Looking for suggestions on a different HSS-F style.
