Hey Everyone,
I have an Axiom Precision AR8. I produce with it a bunch of boxes that are kind of neat. Ring boxes, guitar pick boxes etc.
They are done with maple mostly.
I have the opportunity to wholesale these boxes. I'm very new to CNC so I'm wondering if some of you more experienced guys can help.
In the photo I've attached you'll see the hard maple ring box. I need to increase the speed in which a box is made in order to be profitable with making enough
boxes to make wholesale worth it.
Currently it takes about 8 minutes to produce one box. I need to get this down around 4 minutes if possible.
I'm using 1/4" upcut spiral.
100 IPM - 16,000 RPM (I feel like this is too fast?)
A lot of time is spent on the pocket.
I'm wondering how fast I might be able to run with the hard maple, and what speed.
Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions as to how I can speed up production.
