Greetings; I am about to make the last pass that will cut this brass encoder wheel free of the sheet, its been a bitch, not sure if this hobby shop brass is A340, at 10 thou deep and 7.5" feed, breaking the first bit was done on the 3rd time it entered the brass to start cutting the slot. So I cut the feed to 4.5/2.25 and can't cut more than about 7 thou deep at a time else the bit wibbles pretty obviously on descending on a 30 degree slant into the end of the slot being cut.
What I have ATM looks like it is about 60-65% blocked, 35-40% open for slot width vs web width between the slots. These devices claim a 0.060" aperture, and these slots are perhaps 0.070" wide, with a slot spacing of about .155", so I'm thinking I need more block than open to get about a 50% duty cycle pulse out of it. Am I in the ballpark at 60-65% blockage?, or do I need to fix the code for a hair wider slot and rerun it before lowering it the last 7 thou for the final cutout, at which point its too late to fix? Thanks guys. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
