Figured out the problem. My spindle wasn't spinning. I was literally just dragging the tool thru the material which is why I couldnt get it to to work. Dunno why my spindle quit but I got it working now.

I've tried a number of combinations for speeds and feeds with hardly any luck. I've uped the tool size to a 1/4. Tried both upcut and downcut with little luck. Currently if I cut it twice once on a downcut and come back with the upcut tool I can get it to cut out. It leaves a some metal spurs on the...

Adrian you are right. I had it in my head they were downcut, but they are all upcut... oops. I've secured it pretty good now and its still ripping the top layer apart. I'm guessing a downcut bit would be more sufficient in preserving the top layer of aluminum and maybe like 1/4" in diameter would wo...

I think all the bits I have tried are down cut. But they are all 1/8" dia. except one is 3/16" dia.

I guess it's considered 3mm. It's .13 inches thick. I tried the settings in the previous reply with no luck. It broke my bit again. So frustrating that I can't figure it out!

Thank you Adrian! I will try this. I have a vacuum table but it didn't hold the signbond down very well so I screwed it in to the spoilerboard but only in two diagonal corners. Maybe it did vibrate too much. Thanks for your input. You have been very helpful!

I'm trying to cut Aluminum Composite Material. I'm using an Onsrud 63-614 bit. It's a small 12"x7.5" mailbox sign I just want to cut out. I called Onsrud and they said do a 12000 RPM and Feed Rate of 54 on the small sign but it just rips the aluminum to pieces, it doesn't cut it clean. I tried 18000...

I did watch the Vectric tutorials, and others using Vectric on YouTube. The router didn't come with any information on how to get started, so I felt like those were the best options but they don't really cover everything and seem to be made for people who understand more than just the basics. I'm de...

This is the same file in the same day with no stops it gets to the top and it starts cutting just the top area again. It was set on a conventional climb so it makes no sense to me at all.

I have an Industrial CNC router 510 using Aspire to build the files, save them as gcode and putting them in Mach3 software to be routed. I am completely new to routing and everything I'm learning is from forum's or YouTube videos, and trial and error. I'm trying to cut a 3d sign with a wood grain ba...
