OT Tabs and cleanup
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2014 9:45 am
A bit Off Topic perhaps but could I ask what sort of cleanup passes do people do when using tabs? Just trying to figure if the marks shown here are kind of normal or a problem with my machine/setup/use.
This is 12mm 6082, 6mm HSS 2 flute, initial profile 1.5mm DOC at 288 mm/min then a 0.04mm cleanup pass full depth at 735 mm/min.
I could leave more material for a wider set of cleanup passes but I've a feeling that I'll be chasing my tail as each cleanup also stops and moves the head for each tab.
What do other folk do?
