Hello All;
The questions keep coming!
I have been making up several sets of parallels on my milling machine and have been hogging material for many hours. I have been using a 1 ¼ carbide insert cutter to do the roughing to size. My question has to with feed rate on the X-axes. The speed that I am using is 710rpm the next lowest speed is I believe 380 so on my machine and am using an soluble oil to keep the temperatures down. I find that I am able to feed at a fast rate as long as the depth is not too great (i.e. 1-mm ). The material that I am using is a low carbon steel and the width of the two parallels being worked on is a combined 20mm.
I find that if I go at a slower rate of feed the chips seem to be more discolored than at the higher feed rate and the noise given off by the machine is reduced at the higher speed.
I am looking for is advice on what to be aware of during a hogging operation.
The machine that I have is a ZAY7045FG with a 2-hp motor.
Thank you in advance for all of the assistance provided. ;D
