Small cutters on the Nomad

[Woodcrafter (John Matteson)]

Not sure if you have seen this, but they talk about speeds and feeds with micro endmills using a Nomad.

Micro End Mills 0.2mm - 0.5mm Feed & Speed

Hi everyone! I got my nomad a week ago and am loving it so far. I’m going to use it mainly for jewellery production, so I’m looking to cut gold filled metal (basically brass) and silver. Because I want to produce quite dainty items, I got a 0.7mm end mill (0.032"), which works like a charm, but it won’t cut all the details that I need for tiny pieces. The 0.2mm and 0.3mm flat end mills I got keep on snapping even after I tried different feeds and speeds and I’m pretty much at my wits end. Do…

I mainly cut wood with a shapeoko so my knowledge with this limited, but I hope this helps.
