This might actually be my first "I need help" post......
I have a block of PVC that's 3" x 6" x 3/4" thick.
I need to reduce the thickness to 11/16" (0.688 +/-0.005)
I have a Grizzly combo machine with enough travel and a mill vise.
Here are the cutting tools at my disposal:
-1/2" Endmill
- boring head and a variety of carbide bars
I'm thinking of using the boring head and my smallest boring bar as a fly cutter (which, BTW, I've never done with any material) taking 2-3 passes per cut depth to keep vibration to a minimum.
Anyone got advice on RPM and Depth of cut?
Other suggestions?
