It was machining air, which, let's face it, is a pretty easy medium to work on. The problems start when trying to check that the results meet the required specifications, both dimensionally and the surface finish.
I think that we were not able to see the finished part because some dork opened a window and it blew away. };-)

Won't have to worry about stray dogs hanging around the shop with the noise that thing makes. XD

WHAT WAS THAT ALLTHAT ABOUT
-
That is speed.
-
@macsthunderhawk You need such high speeds to mill with cutters less than 1mm diametre.
As an example, a solid carbide cutter with 0.6 mm diameter has a calculated speed of 95 493 rpmat 180 m / min cutting speed and there are even smaller cutters;-)

what would you need a machine that goes 120k rpms for? to me i dont see a point in it as i see machines with 30k top rpms more than enough with most modern day metals

@gummel82 put a sock in it gummel82 , what i said(and others as well) stands, air tests arent much of an indication of its cutting abilities. would be good to see it working on something.
-
@gummel82 fy.. as silv425 points out, its machineing air, which isnt much of an indication of it final abilities now is it.

@illcities you dumb idiot.
-
Well, i know harvey and a few other micro tooling places sell .001" endmills. I can see how this could be useful.
-
isnt it supposed to cut something?
-
sounds exactly like what i thought 120k rpm would sound like. a fucking jet engine!
The AZ150 will be shown at the Sodick IMTS 2008 booth #4000
