GENERAL NOTES ON MILLING Set up the workpiece in a similar manner to that for drilling. • Slowly bring the cutter into contact with the work piece and start machining. • DO NOT attempt to make too bigger cuts than the cutter and machine are capable of, it is much better and safer to make several small passes.
A good rule of thumb is, the smaller the hole or depth of cut, and the softer the material to be machined etc, the faster the speed. Please note that It is not within the scope of this manual to provide a tutorial on cutting speeds or the methods used to determine spindle speeds (RPM), for your particular application.
