I've just purchased a 22 tool changer brother r450 pallet machine. 10k high torque dual contact spindle (16k wasn't available)
I'm planning on loading up the last 15 or so packets with my most commonly used tools. However, I've never worked with a bt30 spindle, so I'm not sure exactly how much I'm going to have to adjust. Mostly aluminum, nothing tight tolerance.
For my "large" end mill, I'm going with a 3 flute 1/2 destiny 1" length of cut. However I'm thinking I might want to look into chip breaker type end mills for general purpose. I actually think something like the kor5 might be a good choice, more flutes, faster feeds, chip breakers. Perhaps 1" loc on a 1/2 in a bt30 is tool much?
Guhring 5514 carbide drills for balax form taps. Is it worth going carbide drills without coolant thru? Speed is more important than cost, but still I'm worried about pecking with carbide.
Finally I'd live a multi purpose chamfer mill/spot type tool. Or perhaps a chamfer / backside chamfer tool. Chamfer would be the primary function for me, but a couple spots here an there would be great. Any tools you guys like that Excel in both categories?
