20k and 40HP with MONSTER tool-holder??
Tyler, that is not the correct spindle you should be looking at.
Have fun anyways!
If you studied the recommended RPMs and feeds for cutting Ti with 1mm and smaller tooling....you will quickly see that 20k is not enough.
Does not matter how much HP you have. The tool will have horrible life usage running them too slow of a feed and/or rpms.....
DT-1 is mainly made for Drilling and tapping holes in Mechanical application. You will not be using those features.
I think BioHorizons bought the wrong machine myself, but I have no idea what they bought it for in the first place?
I doubt they are going to be milling bars and abutments with it...? Maybe they will try?
A VF-1 or 2 with the faster spindle option would have been a much better choice for the $$. (I still think that is an over-kill in power.)
You have 3-phase power in your lab Tyler? 12' ceilings? 8' wide door to bring the mill into the building?
Kent...?
