First off it’s crazy some times how the universe works. I just now needed to do micro drilling and it just so happens the day I’m trying it out Vince is uploading a video on it at the exact moment I need with no prior request from me.
I started at 20 ipm to get close to .001 and it ghosted that bit on the 2nd peck. I did have retract set high at like 40 ipm so that can be slowed way down and might be where I failed along with too deep of a peck and I did not spot drill.
Flat bar stock, 1 side machining, not critical as long as it is not under sized. It’s a hole to capture one end of a return spring for an adaptive reacher for quadriplegics that opens the jaws.
All help is welcome if you don’t mind volunteering time.
The reason I’m doing all this work for my friend is because his tools changed my life and allow me to live independently for the past 10 years. He has been hand drilling and making these reachers his father designed for the past 20 years to help quads and I’m getting him into CNC so he can stop killing himself manually milling and drilling these tools one at a time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GkD1CdvMtU
