Hi everyone,
I am a bit stymied on this one. The newb about 30days into Milling CAM software. I am cutting, but in Styrofoam. I am working thru the formulas and getting the parms all set for optimum cutter life and such. $180 is expensive for a Mill cutter! Wow. worth getting the math right!
I am not sure what the value should be for 'Z-Axis feedrate' on the Dolphin V12 CAM tool setup screen. It's near the bottom. (DARN- I keep getting a Quota exceeded on the image????? so no image on the post here). Anyone have an idea on what they are asking me to calculate?
I have searched all over for formulas and cannot find much. Is this the depth of cut? Does not seem like it. Having a hard time finding a definite answer in the help files and manuals as well. Going to the boards!
