Re: Phenolic boards for PCB Milling

2003-08-18 by crankorgan

Arnie,
      The spindle speed on the Taig is toooo slow. You need 16,000 
rpms to mill circuit boards at 6" per minute using a two fluted 
mechanical etching bit. What is your top speed  10,000 ?
                                           John
