Highlights of the cutting trial:
- Maximum depth of cut achieved on the machine in a single pass: 5 MM.
- Used tools Dia 4 & 3mm local carbide endmill for complete component iRoughing
- For iRest & iFinishing used tools Dia 3 & 2mm local carbide endmill
- Earlier method 3 Qty 3 & 2 End mill used
- Observed Increased Tool life up to 3-4 times compared to regular machining
- Average spindle load recorded during full depth cutting: 5-6 % when using Dia 4 Endmill , 3-4% load when using Dia 3 & 2 Endmill
