I’m cutting some Corian, which I never really use. I heard it making this not pleasant noise and noticed that when the tool descends into the stock sometimes, it’s pausing a fraction of a second before spinning again (that’s the best way I can describe it). It looks like it’s stopping rotation and dragging a tiny tiny way and that’s making the sound and appears to skip. I’m letting the job continue because it seems to be non-fatal, but has anybody seen this behavior?
Here’s a video and you can see when the tool touches down where it jumps.
I used 12 in/min on plunge. The job finished, but I didn’t do the stopover right, either, so it has ridges along the top surface. I’ll do it over slower.
Will do! Thanks! I’m going have to find a better group of settings to get this all down. The first miracle was work holding but the little vice came to the rescue (booooo double sided tape, boooooo).
