Hey, I know this is the software forum but I figured there are more wax cutters here than anywhere else.
I use a 15degree, .005 carbide "profiler" to cut my wax. 30krpm spindle. .002 stepover. I run at 22 ipm. cuts great, no melting etc.. But my surface finish is pretty "grainy".. generally rough.. I use a toothbrush and some mild soap and water to clean up the loose fuzz, but there is still the rough surface.. what to do?
is there a solvent to smooth it out? Dare I try and use heat to even out the surface? cast it and deal with it in metal?
what do you guys do?
thanks
