CNC Router – Need help with bits, feed speeds, etc.?
I have a newly built CNC router. Its built off of the HobbyCNC plans. It has a HobbyCNC controler (3 axis) with 305oz motors. The ‘router’ is a trim router that takes 1/4″ bits.
I’m looking for help with some guidelines regarding selecing the right bit, plunge rate and feed speed. I’m cutting some 1/2″ maple, but also want to cut and engrave acrylic.
Is there someplace that gives this type of info?

http://WWW.CNCzone.Com is ___The___ place to be.
A lot of the folks there use CNC for metal, but there’s also a woodsection, jewelry etc. etc. You name it, they have it.
You can also find countless links there to other CNC-projects/sites etc. etc. etc.
No one… can keep up with all the info given there.
You can also try http://www.woodweb.com for speed and feed info. Where did you find plans for a cnc router?
