Hi All,
I have a SO3 XXL with the Makita Router. It is a stock configuration.
I'm in the process of creating a multi-part mold. During the process of creating the tool paths for the core I observed that the 1/4" flat end mill was removing a lot of MDF from the blank at what seems to be a very slow pace.
How can I speed up the roughing passes? (increase feeds and speeds to what values?)
Increase the cutter diameter and slow down the feeds/speeds? Does such an option exist? A 1/2" diameter end mill on a 1/4" shank that simply hogs out a lot of material per pass.
Thank you in advance!Tem
