will that work if the text is raised from the bottom of the pocket?
... Feedrate wise - you should be 60 to 120 IPM --- 10 or 20 is WAY too slow - you are burning the bit. ...
... I'll be getting larger bits in about a week or so, then I can go a little faster. ...
... I am getting a bit nervous about posting responses because I feel that I am irritating you and perhaps others as well.
I am not the most diplomatic person, and I am just trying to be helpful. ...
that's pretty much what my friend dale had to say, 4 flutes generate more heat than 2 flutes. as to melting hdpe, you can put me on that list too, and i was using a 2 flute bit.
... did you calculate your feedrate based on what is in my spreadsheet just to see what you get? Around 20 IPM?
... BTW - Why do you keep saying 4 flute? There is nothing in my spreadsheet that recommends a 4 flute cutter.
