We have a product that requires 3 axis machining of a Dyneema panel but am having difficulty with the machining of it and has had instances of spoilboards burning due to heat build up when running at 10k + 90IPM, and 15k + 90IPM. DOC 0.25" and 2 flute EM for Aluminium.
I have read quite a few posts on machining of UHMWPE and there seems to be various camps on this. Slow Speed high feed, moderate speed high feed using single O Flutes and 2 flute end mills as well as the high speed high feed ones so a pretty big variance on parameters but very limited on the machining of dyneema. The recommended cutter from our cutter supplier (6 flute carbide endmill for metal) broke during the trial but the fiber wrapped around the cutter at 10k and 128IPM.
Does anybody have experience on machining of dyneema and willing to share what has worked for them?
