5 axis cutting with Ares

What is resolution and accuracy that big machine?

What speed do you run the spindle at for cutting foam? Also, do you just use regular end mills?

[a4near]

@TheFartenator We run 1" end mills and ballnose at 9000rpm. Real basic cutters for foam, just two flute steel. Mostly 6 flute carbide when we cut putty. Then we use 3/4" and run at 12000rpm. Art

@a4near thanks very much

looks cool to machine foam!! high speeds and feeds and tools last forever? hehe

[a4near]

@jonnis240 Nope, the tools still get dull. The foam is really abrasive. They get real noisy.

what the hell did it make?

[a4near]

It's a high density foam mockup for a wingtip for a passenger jet. It was for a wind tunnel test. It's job is to quiet the wind noise.
