Here's what I run my bits at currently in wood like mdf, pine, and birch plywood: (click to purchase)įor depth of cut (DOC) i typically do the diameter of the endmill per pass (1/4 endmill will go. The best way to dial in your settings is with trial and error. If the bit is too hot to the touch, increase the feedrate or lower the speed dial on the router. Larger chips pull away more heat, which means its easier on the tool and prolongs the life of the bit. It's a dance between not going so fast that you create a bit that gets so hot you cannot touch it. ![]() You want to create as little heat as you can while going as fast as you can. The key to remember is that you want to make chips, not dust. I'm not a mathmatician, but there are plenty of websites that will go into much more detail than I ever could, however the basic formula is chipload x cutting diameter x number of flutes x spindle speed = feed rate. There's a whole lot of math that goes into finding the perfect feed and speeds. Don't take this as the end all, be all, but more of a starting or reference point. ![]() ![]() It's hard to answer this in a simple blog post. The constant question that will never die. ![]()
