Please give me suggestions for a Freud 1/4" ball nose bit. The Feud site gives the following.
18000 X 2 (Flutes) X 0.011(Chipload)=396 IPM They are calculating a 1/4" depth of cut.
18000 X 2 (Flutes) X .008 (Chipload)=288 IPM They are calculating a 1/4" depth of cut
This seems way too much for a Shapeoko 3 HDZ Dewalt Router.
I have a Dewalt 611 so my minimum speed is 16000 RPM.
Recommended* Chip Loads, based on cut depth equal to bit diameter:
1/4" Chipload .008"-.011" (Hardwood) 1/4" DOC
If you have a Freud 70-101 please give me your feeds and speeds for Hardwood.
