OT Tabs and cleanup

Post by ruffle »

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.

Image

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?

have You try a bit more cleanup? for example on rough cut set "finish allowance" 0,5 mm and then final pass on full depth with "finish allowance" 0mm
