Hello everyone,
We have a stepper motor that we can get up to around 400 RPMs which is spinning our material, we have a spindle that can be be adjusted up to 24000, but we have been running it at 12000, we use this to hold the cutting tool.
We are making tapered spindles for furniture.
Now for the question. Does anyone know of a good source to explain to me what speed I should be spinning my stock at, what speed should the spindle running at, what should the feed rate be, what angle or position should the tool be at. What tool to use, right now we use a 0.5 inch end mill. Currently with the way things I do not have the luxury of trying different settings so I am looking for good reference material that can answer these questions plus more....
Thanks
and Stay Safe
