Application

 

Engraving or cutting plastic, plywood or fiberboard up to 0,25" thick, below 500 in/minute feed rate, use spindles around 1.5 to 5 HP up to 40,000 rpm. Their small size and weight also make them highly maneuverable to suit small routers and robots with 5 axis or 3-D carving capabilities.

Cutting wood, plastic or aluminum using straight tools below 0.75" diameter at feed rates around 300 to 600 in/minute, use spindles between 5 and 10 HP, 12,000 to 24,000.

Heavy-duty demands including large profile tools over 1,0" diameter at high feed rates of 500 to 3000 inches/minute in high-density materials, eg. phenolic, hardwood or aluminum, use higher power spindles, 10 to 20 HP, from 9,000 to 18,000 rpm.
