Machining gantry plate with improved feeds and speeds.

Machining Friday again 😂.

Revamped the feeds and speeds for the plates, so far it looks like I am down to about 1/3 to 1/2 cycle time compared to the first plate.

Adaptive roughing on the outside
3500 mm/min, 7 mm DOC, 0.8 mm WOC, 21 krpm, 3 flute 8 mm tool.

Lot of vibrations at some places, not from the tool but the whole machine was shaking, surface quality is great though.

Adaptive roughing pockets
1800 mm/min, 5.5 mm DOC, 1.1 mm WOC, 24 krpm, single flute 6 mm tool.

For those asking about spindles, how much power to get etc. Both of these cuts require about 900-1000 W. Both according to calculators and what the VFD showed on its display.

As always, have a great weekend everyone 🍻
