Thread: tooling for hardwood
-
26-11-2018 #1
Hi,
I'm relatively new to the forum and posted just a couple of times.
I've just bought a Boxford CNC router for the batch production of small hardwood items.
I'm sure this has already been discussed, but can anyone with experience of the fine finishing of hardwoods recommend a good source for tooling.
Would I be better using a 10mm or bigger shank,rather than a 6mm? I've told that this will lessen vibration and some noise.
Any tips as to how to get a good finish would be much appreciated. Also any thoughts on a good source of information on the subject, online or books.
Many thanks,
Bob

Hi, tools for hardwood routing, solid carbide spiral tools are widely used, but PCD diamond bits get a much better performance.

Hi Ricocnc,
Thanks for your reply.
Some solid carbide I have and I'll see how they go. The diamond PCD are a new to me, I'll check them out.
All the best,
Bob
