I have a 48 X 48 cnc router table. I have bought a aluminum cutting bit and now am trying to figure out how to use it without blowing it up. The bit is a 1/4 inch carbide single flute. My router is capable of speeds from 8000 to 23000. When i have looked in programs to help me with feeds and speeds the feed rate is much faster than my machine can go (540 ipm).
I had originaly planned on using WD40 and an air hose and lubricate the bit. (I know a mister would be better). Hearing now that rubbing alcohol is better?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
