Doing a contour cut on a 1" thick piece of 6061 T6
short 1/2" end cutting HSS bit
1.0" DOC .020" WOC
GWizard says the most aggressive speed (rough cut) would be 135 IPM at 3900 RPM at .52 HP
So I turn it back to 80 IPM and try the cut. It's chattering and sounds like it's about to blow up and I can see the collet holder flexing, or something, it's going so fast it's hard to tell for sure
So I dial it back to 40 IPM and it makes a nice cut. This is the lowest speed/feed that GWizard gives for this cut.
Is anyone running their 770 at the max figures coming out of GWizard?
