Hi - Abbotsford BC

Thats a 40mm dia cutter - if I recall S&F maybe 1600 rpm in Acetyl, 1000 rpm in 6061, 600 rpm in CRS/MS and slowly with oil at 300 rpm in Cast Iron.

In acetyl I cut two passes to DoC and in CI perhaps as many as six passes. Depends on material and depth of cut.

The setup also allows resharpening the cutters with a 50mm diamond wheel.

Can't wait to try that stuff myself. I have all the bits and pieces.

Welcome from Ontario Don.
Nice keyed table you made along with your set-up!

Thanks but not mine ! - the tooling plate is from Saunders Machine Works. This one is M6 on 20mm centers. I made all of the pallets and fixtures, angle plates and so on. It really makes life simple when producing a batch of parts, by reducing the setup time and keeping things organised.
