Title:

Fastest Reliable Feeds & Speeds - Oak

Text:

I'm looking to add a second CNC to my workshop, but the one I'm currently using is out of production and their newer machines are significantly more expensive. [br]
[br]
I'd also like to buy UK made where possible, so I'm looking at ooznest, having initially seen it at the show in Harrogate a week ago.[br]
[br]
My question relates to how fast the WorkBee can be run and still produce reliable pocketing cuts with Oak.[br]
[br]
I'm currently running parts that take around 40-50 minutes each, so time is an important  factor.    Many of the toolpaths are running at 5,000 mm/min with a 6mm end mill, 3mm step over and a 1.75mm deep cut.  [br]
[br]
Can the WorkBee reliably run at these speeds with Oak?  If not, what sort sort of speeds could I reasonably expect?[br]
