High Speed CNC Machining 1400 IPM Macomb College

Machine seems a little slower than 1400 IPM....I was thinking this thing is probably on 50% rapid?

It would be able to do even better if the machine didn't have ball guides...

id do a .400 doc at 400 ipm to get rid of material quicker with a tialn 3 flute (.5)endmill to show something impressive and yes it can be done with no promlem in 6061 and thats not pressing it to the max

crank it up to 10k rpm give it .1 steps. that would be throwin some mean chips.
