Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Wood Router clearing chips

Nice looking machine.

<Maybe a cutting tool with a spiral cutting edge would
clear the chips. If not, maybe the pressure side of your
table vacuum could be used to blow the chips out.

Harbor Freight has a laminate cutter that is usually around
$20 and seems to be easy to make a mount for.\

Ive just finsihed a new wood router to make model parts. It is 16"x32"
and I
want to do most of my cutting with the smallest possible bit- Id like a
laser, but thats another project. Im going to cut mostly thin stuff- 3mm
plywood, 1/16 basswood and some plastic sheet.

I have ground a single lip 1/16" dia tools and it cuts very well at about
15
in/min and .100" deep But it leaves the cut path tightly packed with
chips.
It cant be cutting clean with all those old chips stuck there.

What will help clear the chips? I treid slower feeds, but then the chips
burn and smoke, obviously worse. I tried faster and the tool seems to
'swin'
around a bit, causing errors in the cut line.
