My question relates to using Gwizard interpolation calculations to determine a safe feed rate for hole/curve machining where the end mill radius is close to the radius of the hole/curve. Gwizard requires the user to input a limiting value of acceleration. Does anyone have any idea what would be a safe limit to set for the Tormach 1100?
I emailed Bob Warfield with this question a few days ago, but he might be too busy to provide any advice.
I have a tight inside corner in a profile that I would like to machine with full axial DOC, small radial DOC and high feed rate. I know there are other combinations utilising smaller diameter tool, slow feed, etc but I would prefer the HSM style.
Any advice re 1100 acceleration limits?
