polycarbonate

Any advice for machining polycarbonate. Various parts out of 1/8 to 1/4 thick material.

Depth per pass? Feedrate? Endmill?

Im using a dewalt 660. I can put a basic speed control on it and slow it down. I have an air nozzle to clean out chips.

 

We’ve been successful machining aluminum to very tight tolerances for our team robot. Time to try poly.

Lots of air, after that, the feeds are machine dependent.
