I am new to CNC machining, but.....
Trying just to make long shoulder 90 degrees, long like 6" deep in Z. Nothing difficult, right.
To avoid million times stepping down I bought several helical cutters, like Sandvik R390 family, one of them R390-032C5-54M. Adding them to Capto extensions and head make really rigid connection, on long distance.
I have Fadal 4020. Speed 2850 RPM. Cutting Feed 880mm/min
The Radial dept of Cut is First 0.4mm, Second 0.4mm, third Finish at 550mm/min 0.2mm.
Material is Al6061T6. Inserts on the cutter are as they should be 100%.
All above looks fine. NOW THE PROBLEM.
I first made a path with only 9mm Step Down. To be modest, not to push it. The first photo is what I got?????? I sent that to Sandvik, the answer, use full length of the cutter. In the case of R390-032C5-54M that would be 54mm deep.
OkieDokie, I have plate of 50mm thickness, should be perfect. Look on the other photos. WHAT IS WRONG?
