To size motors, screws, bearings etc for my CNC lathe conversion I have been trying to find cutting force data.
http://www.ijera.com/papers/Vol4_issue4/Version%201/U044134144.pdf Seems to say that a feed force of 100N is about normal. This seems rather less than I would have guessed. Does anyone else have any feel for this. I have been designing around 2kN, and I know that many CNC lathes have multi-kW Z servos. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
