Cut into Aluminum Bed!
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2016 4:11 pm
So, two questions:
1. Using 1/4" solid carbide end mill. Is the bit salvageable if I send it for sharpening? About 1/4" of the end is full of aluminum now. Paid about $25 for it, sharpening from our source is normally about $8.
2. Looks like I can loosen the bed hold-down bolts and flip segments over - it that true?
Sure thought I had this job set up right, but a lot of toolpaths, one that came in from a thicker piece of wood, and obviously I didn't review cut depth on all paths! Duh!
Thanks -
