Hello brilliant minds!
So I'm fairly new to the cnc world and have been having trouble to a bit slipping. It's a 1/2" shank, 4" inch overall length, 2 fluted straight bit. THe collet is E20 on an 3hp spindle.
I have run across a few threads that suggest just a torque wrench to make sure it's got the proper tension. Any thoughts on this?
It could be a combination of the bit being worn, the collet having some wear but perhaps it's improperly torqued.
I don't have any troubles with a 1/4" collet or bits slipping.
Running:
Avid Pro4896

ESS v277.1
Thanks-
Richard
