Found this video covering how to cut aluminum well at particularly at 16,000 rpm like the m4 starts at

Figured I would and should share it with you all for thoughts, & opinions on it and just to share some likely handy info for the other makers on here

also are the traveling speeds they are running for those 16K rpm ones realistic to use on the M4?

What speed are they cutting at?

I was doing 300mm/min then i bumped it down to 250mm/min and it got worse so I’m now thinking either following the videos style or trying 350-400 /min

Yeah, Maslow4 can do 2,500mm/min so 400 is no issue

In the video they were cutting .381 mm doc and 1220 mm/min on their travel time with a 1/4 inch bit cutting aluminum at 16k rpm can the Maslow do that do you think?

Absolutely, that’s well within the speed that the machine can move at

The biggest limitation of the maslow 4 is the rigidity, so it may be that at
those cutting loads the machine will flex (or belts will stretch) and throw the
cut off. Reducing the depth of cut is the best solution to that problem if you
experience it.
