I need to slot a round profile about 3.75 inches in diameter on a 6061-t6 workpiece and I am trying to use a LSC 1/4 TAS EM. The reason for slotting is that I have screws in the way and the .25 EM can clear them when doing the profile. I am using a Pierson vacuum table and a top plate to hold the workpiece in place.
I am currently cutting with the .25" WOC and a DOC of .08 while running with a 20ipm feed rate along with a 10ipm for ramp and 5000rpm on my 1100.
I tried looking into using GWizard to see if I can speed things up and after applying all the settings I get a womping 90ipm for feed rate. This seems excessively fast so I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with running these TAS EM and what recommended feed and speeds can I really push them to.
