What is this foam called?
huh, that's interesting. it's usually the other way around with machining. climb cut leaves a better finish but conventional causes less chatter and is easier on the machine
I wonder if one could use it on other precision tools beside a CNC machine?
Very good tip. Thanks!
went from moving in the direction of bit rotation to against it. . .
Which foam are you using?
Thank you
What are you speeds and feeds for this material?
can you please share the settings for the bit ?, speed, RPM etc.
Speed and feed please?
Answer in 2:28
What speed and feed rate used???
You are a great man
Great video thanks ?
Give me advice how to do it on fusion 360
Thank you. Currently machining foam inserts for a knife display case and am running into the messy cut edges. Tried all kinds of different bits.
Edit: I have the same kind of bit except it’s an upcut, and it still works great.
Conventional cut seems to be appropiate for pocketing, okay. But what about a profile toolpath? Climb or conventional?
Please advise feed and speed. Thanks
THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE BRO, GREAT JOB
logical. elastic materials (or aggresive milling) don't like up or side forces. they just give.
what kind of foam were you cutting ?
eres la primer persona que me desasna sobre esto, voy a ver y tratar de que alguien me traduzca vuestras palabras para saber si interpreté bien. Muchas gracias saludos desde Argentina
That is a good looking cut Erick! Nice to hear you on the channel. What foam were you cutting there and how were you clamping/securing the foam to the table? I typically use XPS because it is stiff enough to clamp with a toe clamps. Would be nice to be able to cut more open cell foams like the one in this video.
Good stuff. Is that the Q you're using there?
This explanations make the difference. That's why stepcraft makes the difference. They have good material and explain how to use them.
good job
