We are cutting grade 5 titanium and the website says 4000 rpm at 19 ipm for a .177drill.
I tried it at 85% of that and it didn't like it. It walked pretty bad. 1 inch deep .177dia 1200psi tsc in a hammer shrink. No peck and no spot drill. It was at 13%load on the mam 72-35v.
Anyone use these in titanium before?
it rounds the top even with a flat endmill.
if the corner were shart technically it would have more material on it than what you set. there is a setting for stock to leave not to round corners in contour. maybe something similar. or a check box in tool path fillet to make sharp
I'm taking relatively light cuts with a 3 flute endmill in aluminum. It starts to rumble and you can see the z load increase. Sometimes it pulls the head down into z excess error servo alarm. Its at 70% load just sitting still with no cutting. It looks like the motor is the same size as the 520
I save a copy with the material in the name of I want it saved. Then you pick the one you want they will be relatively close to each other in the library
there is an engraving path that should work.
you could also use surface horizontal and pick the floor as drive and top of the letters as check
but i would try a pocket set to zigzag with a tapered wall angle in depth cuts
you would make a plane on the bottom and copy the operations and switch the plane to the bottom . then it will verify correct and you could either bost it all or just the first half.
transform rotate may work with y as the axis of rotation but i would have to mess around with it to see. you mat need to make a rotation plane
