Which Bit for PVC
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2018 7:23 pm
Hi,
I've been struggling with cutting PVC. Trying to make golf ball marker the size of casino chips, so about 1.5" in diameter. The problem is that no matter which bit I use, the chips weld to the bottom of the carved paths (0.06 deep). I tried 1/8 up and down flutes, and a 1/16 down, which of course broke off on a clamp when it went back to home. Still paying the newbie price by not paying attention to those things. The PVC I am using is 1/4" thick. Got the DeWalt 611 set at 1 and feed rate at 60 IPM.
Thanks!!!
