Are There Any Other Things to Consider Besides CNC Speed?

Absolutely! While CNC speed (cutting speed, Vc) is a crucial factor, several other elements influence successful aluminum milling. Here are some key considerations:

 

Feed Rate (F): This refers to how fast the material is fed into the rotating cutter. It's usually given in millimeters per minute (mm/min) or per tooth (Fz). Choosing the right feed rate is essential for proper chip formation and tool life. A slow feed rate with a high speed can cause the tool to rub against the aluminum, increasing friction and heat, leading to premature wear. Conversely, an excessively high feed rate can overload the tool and cause chipping or breakage.

 

Chip Thickness: Ideally, the chips produced during milling should be small and manageable. This helps prevent chip re-cutting, which can damage the machined surface and reduce tool life. Factors like speed, feed rate, and tool geometry all influence chip thickness. Generally, a higher feed rate with a moderate speed results in thicker chips, while a lower feed rate with a higher speed produces thinner chips.

 

Coolant: Using a coolant during CNC milling is highly recommended, especially for aluminum. Coolant helps:

 

1. Lubricate the cutting tool and workpiece: This reduces friction and heat generation, extending tool life and improving surface finish.

2. Wash away chips: Efficient chip evacuation prevents them from re-cutting the material and ensures a clean finish.

 

Tool Rigidity: The rigidity of your CNC machine's toolholder and the cutter itself play a role in achieving optimal speeds. A rigid setup allows for higher speeds with less deflection and vibration, leading to better accuracy and surface finish.

 

Workholding: How you secure the aluminum workpiece in the CNC machine is important. A secure hold minimizes vibrations during cutting, which can affect surface finish and tool life.
