Can anyone tell me what kind of forces are involved in micro machining of parts..
how to design a home built cnc mill to machine tool steel, small pieces, titanium and nickel.
I want to make small intricate parts with 1-3mm endmills. (under 1/8 inch) on a 3+ axis machine.
I figure that the tolerances should be considered in percent error with things so small.. and I would like to reach an accuracy in tenths or microns.
Is a dewalt router going to be enough to power an 1/8 or 1/16 inch endmill through d7 tool steel?
will I need to make a gt2 pully reduction drive and mill head for the dewalt 611. (I think it is 1-1/4 hp)
what would be a good design example for planning ahead to upgrade to 4 and 5 axis?
