one way to get a good outside surface finish it cut the part over size by .010-.020" radially but cut axially all the way to final depth with conventional milling
and then plunge the tool straight down to full depth and run a pass at final radial dimension using climb milling
that will give you a great surface finish
how long did that take to cut out?
might try .020" DOC
i cant find the parts parts-list or kits anywhere!
Iâm actually surprised to not see anyone mention G-Wizard. With this software you can determine your machining parameters for everything that you may mill, route or turn.
Gwiziard is fantastic. not sure how accurate tho!
yeah I would like to take a look at gwizard I am just not sure that I would pay for it
Test trial free.
lol it wonât install on my computer it says it encountered a error go figure!!
Get a good computerâŚ
I built a powerful desktop for editing/gaming.
And i use a tiny little $150 windows laptop/tablet for running the machine with easel or ugs.
That way i get to keep the dust off my nicer pc.
I have a custom built machine with 2 gtx 1080 in sli , ssdâs, water cooled, windows 10, triple 40" monitors the works lol for my design computer
and a old windows 7 pc for my cnc computer
Same 
Got a sick deal on ebay for 2 1080âs.
running a x99 R5E

64Gb Ram ddr4
m.2 nvme
1080 sli 2
selling my old 980 hybrid
that memory bro? seems like it comes to a certian point where more memory doesnât seem to make a difference
I am excited to see that they announce a 60tb ssd though thats really cool lol
Idk I used to get into building computers just on the hardware side but I really donât know anything about the software side of things lol
Good price so why not plus running some games off of a ram disk.
load time on witcher 3 is seconds.(when i dont have to listen to boring dialog⌠
)
oh yeah lol 
Hello
Thatâs a really good finish 
Can you tell me What rpm (knob number) are you using here ?
Using @WorkinWoods suggestion what i do is to over size item by .10 or .20.
Cut using the most aggressive settings that is âsafeâ aka nothing breaks.
My latest and greatest results were:
Speed setting 1 @10600 rpm
Doc .005
Ipm 140.
Was able to cut a 1/4"x10.5"x3.5" batarang from aluminum sheet stock in 10-15 min. I used fs wizard online and used their recommended settings.
To finish nicely i set the doc to a little past the material thickness and set the material to .26 or .27 instead of .25 or .24 and made sure to compensate the tab heights as well so it wont pop out.
Then I adjusted the size once more back to what i wanted and ran a finish pass at over full doc and speed setting 6 with 50ipm.
Here is one of the best milling calculators I have found:
Milling Calculators.
Remember any machine can be abused no matter how stiff or beefy
it is. I use this calculator as a starting point and then dial back.
