What is an O-Flutes cutter? -----Original Message----- From: Todd Zuercher [mailto:to...@pgrahamdunn.com] Sent: April 14, 2023 6:52 AM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Mill ramp angle
I've had great success with 1/4" O-flutes in aluminum. But I spiral those in pretty much exclusively and use HSM style tool paths where the tool never sees more than about 20-30% engagement. (While I've broken lots of 1/4" O-flues, I've never noticed the tip breaking.) Todd Zuercher P.
