I would like a sanity check here from some of you guys with experience.
I am running a 1 HP CNC Lathe making an aluminum part starting out at 1.25inch diameter making .020 cuts at.004in/Rev and turning 2400RPM.
The motor stalls in mid operation when I get down to around 1 inch diameter. You can hear the motor bog a little as soon as it starts the cut.
I think it should have no problem running this part even in steel?
Is this an unrealistic speed and feed for 1HP or is there something more ominous going on?
Thanks for the help
