37 General Routing and Milling Information Follow the CNC machine manufacturer guidelines for setup alignment calibration and maintenance schedules. Regular attention to these guidelines will keep your CNC machine in top operating condition. Belin Precision Tools work best in well-maintained CNC machines giving excellent cutting performance and longer tool life. CNC Rigidity Setup machine stability is when material hold down is achieved with no movement and minimal vibration. Also, consider that software programs need to be verified and the spindle(s) aligned and calibrated, creating the optimum working conditions to minimize runout side pressures giving the best cut/edge quality and longer tool life. Collets inspect often, especially if you change tools hourly daily weekly. Clean and inspect collets at every tool changeover. Replace collets at the first sign of wear. Worn or dirty collets will contribute to shorter tool life and tool breakage. Plunging the material harder the material to be routed/milled, the softer you should plunge. Reducing the plunge helps to avoid damaging the tool as it hits the material. Consider slower plunge when using small diameter tools, extra long cutting length tools and flatter tipped tools. Examples: Plastic/Wood 0-0% of the calculated feed rate [IPM] Aluminum/Non-Ferrous -0% of the calculated feed rate [IPM] Steel/Ferrous Metal 0-0% of the calculated feed rate [IPM] Depth of Cut Ap important to follow the recommended Ap listed on the Belin Cutting Formula Chart. Smaller cutting edge diameters and harder material being routed/milled require the depth of cut Ap be reduced. Exceeding the recommended Ap can contribute to less than optimal edge quality, shorter tool life and tool breakage. Examples: / - rout/mill aluminum Ap R- radius = / Ap per pass/cut / - rout/mill steel/ferrous metal Ap R- radius = / Ap per pass/cut / - rout/mill aluminum Ap D- diameter = / Ap per pass/cut / - rout/mill plastic/wood Ap. x R- radius = / Ap per pass/cut / - rout/mill plastic/wood Ap. x D- diameter- = / Ap per pass/cut Lubricant - Coolant follow recommendation on the Belin Cutting Formula Chart for safe CNC production. Routing Milling without recommended lubricant-coolant will contribute to shorter tool life, less than optimum edge quality and tool breakage. Problems to consider when lubricant coolant is not used: Contributes to weld back when routing milling most plastic materials Excessive heat builds up of when routing milling non-ferrous and ferrous metal creating an unsafe working environment and potential fire hazard. 7
