FEEDRATES VMC1300
PLEASE TELL ME THE RECOMENDED FEEDRATE FOR MILD STEEL THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY INFORMATION ON YOUR WEBPAGE!
The settings in the material library of VR milling suggest 75mm/Min at 2500RPM with a cut depth 25% of tool diameter. Typically for a 6mm cutter.
Depending on the size of the cutter this will be about right.
The cutter type diameter and number of flutes will also require changes but start at these values and see how it cuts.
For larger diameter cutters reduce the spindle speed and for smaller ones increase it.

Re: FEEDRATES VMC1300
Hi. I’m new to this form so hope I’m directing this question in the right place. Has anyone had experience tapping m2 and m3 threads in brass and aluminium using the vmc 1300? I appreciate I’ll need a tapping head but just wondering in the success rate of tapping holes this size. Thanks.
