Select the Right Cutting Tools and Calculate Proper Feeds and Speeds
The key to optimizing your Techno CNC equipment and getting the best cut quality at the most efficient rate all depends on the tool selection and proper feeds and speeds calculation. Since these seemingly small variables have such a large impact on the outcome of a CNC project, it is crucial that operators and programmers understand the methods in which a bit is selected and how to calculate the proper feeds and speeds for the cutting tool. CNC router bit choice is important in regard to chip load, which is the size of the chip produced for every cutting edge (flute) on the tool per revolution of the spindle. The goal with chip load is to maximize the size of the chips increasing productivity, reducing heat produced on the tool, and preventing premature dulling. A chip load that is too small will produce a lot of heat, causing the bit to dull very quickly, inevitably breaking the cutting tool. A chip load that is too large will cause the tool to deflect, producing a “chatter” cut finish and in some extreme cases, break the tool.
Selecting a Techno CNC Router Bit
Materials: Router bits are produced in a variety of material The most common are solid carbide, carbide-tipped steel, and high-speed steel. The Techno CNC tools are all produced using solid carbide as this material is proven to be a much stronger make up and will stay sharper longer. We do not recommend using high-speed steel bits, as they are prone to dulling quickly and needing to be re-sharpened.
Flute Shapes: Router bits are formed into three different, yet distinct shapes; straight, spiral up-cut, spiral down-cut, and compression. Each style has advantages and disadvantages which we have listed in the chart below.
To calculate chip load, use the following formula:
Chip Load = Feed Rate / (Spindle RPM x Number of Flutes)
Calculating Feeds and Speeds Using Chipload
Chip load is the actual thickness of a single chip produced by the cutting tool for each revolution of the cutter. This same size chip load should be produced for every flute on the cutter as it rotates, engaging the substrate being cut. This is the measurement that all feed/speeds calculations are based on.
A rotating cutter generates friction as it engages and moves through the cutting material, producing heat. A portion of this heat is transferred through the chips that fly out of the cut. A larger chip load reduces the amount of heat produced, but also provides more stress on the cutting tool. Every material has its own ideal chip load range that balances heat transfer with cutter stress.
A basic chart is provided at the end of this manual showing the ideal chip load range for specific materials utilizing various diameter tools. Read through this chart as it will also explain recalculating chip loads at more aggressive depths of cuts.
Valuable Formulas:
Feed Rate = RPM x number of flutes x chip load
Chip Load = Feed rate / (RPM x number of flutes)
