I'm roughing 6061 and getting a nice finish. The machine doesn't sound good though. It's low-power ( <2 HP). I'm guessing the sound is from the machine struggling.
How do I adjust my feeds and speeds to compensate for the low power (assuming that is the problem)? Decrease the feed? Decrease step-over?
ADOC: 0.75"
RDOC: 15% dia
Feed: 24 IPM
RPM: 4000
Chip Load: 0.002 IPT
I'm using a 3/8" dia roughing mill with chip breakers. It has a 1" LOC.
