I am still sort of new to this area of life, and have a question for the more experienced. I am cutting acrylic, and have been running test coupons to determine feeds / speeds for best appearance straight off the machine / having minimal clean up. I came up with 7200 rpm at 500mm per minute, using a 0.02" two flute endmill. My chipload (if my fomula is correct) is CL=RPM/(Feed*Flutes) = 0.0013
RPM = 7200
Flutes = 2
Feed = 19.685" per minute
Here is where my questions comes in. 1. What if I go from the .02" endmill to a different diameter tool?, and 2. Can I theoretically just triple my speeds and feeds with the same finished look?
