I just read the Artisan tool heads article and posted a comment asking how the power increase of the 200W CNC would actually equate to real world application. I saw this footnote afterwards: [1] The max. recommended feed speed for 50W CNC Module is 1000 mm/min, with 1 mm step down, and 3000 mm/min…

Depends upon the hardness of the wood. With hardwoods like oak, maple, walnut etc. .5mm and 600mm/min is as fast as I usually am able to go and a lot of the time only 400. Any time I’ve tried to do much more than that I’ve ended up with play in the x-axis. With softwoods like pine I could probably…

I’ve been a bit aggressive with mine, I have a “last” generation A350. (Before the new rails, but with the new 3DP toolhead and square bed frame). I’ve ran a 3.175mm flat end @ 1000mm/m, 0.5mm stepdown for most all of my roughing in poplar, cherry, maple (mostly maple), and red oak. My finish passes…

I just purchased a 1mm by 17 mm reach bit with 3 flutes. I’ve read 3 flutes usually requires faster speeds but its also only 1 mm cutting shaft. Would either of you go beyond 400mm/min if I were doing 0.5 mm stepdowns? The woods I’ll be cutting are walnut and mahogany, just contour cuts. And Fusion…

It’s pretty easy to snap the smaller bits like that. So it mostly depends on whether you care if you lose some bits. I usually keep it at 400 or sometimes down to 300. Also I’ve found adaptive clearing gets too aggressive and had more problems with it killing bits. I use pocket. Generally 3 and 4…

Thanks SDJ, I did order a 2 flute one as well that’s at least 15 mm reach but still waiting on that. I’d prefer not to break this so I’ll do a light test pass or two to see how it does. If I were trying to match the same feed per tooth of my 2 flute bits at 400 the speed required is 600, but I sti…

Just my 2 cents : I have always been running my jobs rather fast and have always given preference to speed vs depth of cut. Except for finishing passes which I do slower. Just like @Skreelink Usually I create my jobs with relative slow speeds. And then I speed up by increasing the speed on the to…

Well, lesson learned in the aftermath. Bit started fine but did ultimately break, I’m pretty sure due to the very shallow cutting edge not clearing enough of the dust (only 1.5 mm of the 17 mm reach was cutting edges, and as SDJ said, that’s because it was really meant for metal). I think the speed …

Thanks for this recommendation. I am working on some chess pieces in walnut and maple and had been running it pretty aggressively, and getting ragged finish and a lot of play in the X axis, in fact looked like the whole module was jerking around at times. I have gone back to more moderate cutting, b…

[image] Excessive play in x-axis linear module bracket Snapmaker 2.0 The mounting bracket on the linear module on the x-axis on my A350 is loose. The toolhead is tight to the bracket but the bracket itself now rocks up and down a millimeter or two. I couldn’t tell if ther…

Anyone this aggressive with CNC?
