Howdy, I’m about to make something like this in hdpe. I’ll use this bit https://store.piersonworkholding.com/SmartVac-3-Gasket-Slot-Endmill_p_17.html My dw611 can’t go that slow. I’ll do some tests this weekend to accomplish the slots. I wanted to see if anyone already had good feeds and speeds for hdpe with the dw611. That endmill recommends full depth of cut at .1” Cheers! Stuart
I use 18000 rpm at 2500 mm/min at a cut depth of 1/2 the diameter of the endmill. HDPE is one of my favorite things to cut because it is so easy. I like to use an endmill with two straight flutes, but a spiral up cut works as well.
