Hello, I am brand new to this forum, I have tried searching for the information that I need, but the problem is I am not exactly sure what I should be searching for.
I have a converted "Majic mill" running "Deskcnc" software and controller, I am trying to engrave some stainless steel with a 1mm 3flute carbide end mill to a depth of 0.5mm
My problem is that I am struggling to find the correct information on cutting speeds (speed the cutter should rotate at) and feed rates and depths per cut.
I have found some information and caculators but am confused by the terminology (OK I am stupid then!).
Does anyone have any simple charts in pdf/jpg etc format that I can look at and say "for 1mm on stainless I need xxx cutter rpm and xxx feedrate?
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong area.
Like I said, this is my 1st post, so please be gentle with me, I have had the machine since 2006 and am only now really trying to make the effort to use it.
My background is in electronics (micro controllers) but I have also used machine tools including Mills and Lathes (I also have an old 1950's Boxford Lathe with proper handles ).
Thank you.
Regards
Matthew
