CNC machining FR4 G10 epoxy glass with Multicam MT 22 CNC Router

I cut a lot of the is material too, and carbide tooling is a must. I believe the glass content is ~30%. Interesting video, thanks for posting.

And if you can't use a good vacuum system, wet machining will also help keep the dust down.

what about the speeds and feeds? are they about the same as plastics, we are burning shit up at our shop and no one knows how to cut it without it heating up bad. without airblast too. all we have is a vaccum.

I bought this very same model used recently, and am in the quest to put it to work. Do you know where can i get manuals for this? thank you

what type of router blade is used to cut the carbon fiber that you cut? Is there a distributor that you could refer me to?

[mckunedesign]

The router used to cut the parts out is a US Union Tool (formerly Megatool) 3/32 Carbide Chip Breaker router with a drill point. You can call them direct to order. I think they are about $2.50 each.

Thank you VERY MUCH!!!! I've been struggling with other bits for years and always have had horrible results which require A LOT of secondary shaping and manual labor. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

what was it making?

It is a wear part for a coin sorting mechanism. I have video of machining carbon fiber parts as well as other G10 parts. I should have them up soon.
