TrueMill Getting Started

Make straight line test cuts along the outside edge of the material.  Start with your usual cutting parameters except double the tooling manufacturer’s recommended chip load.

Monitor the spindle load meter.  If load is less than the desired amount, incrementally increase the Spindle Speed while maintaining the increased chip load from step 1.  The feedrate will therefore increase.

Test combinations of increased spindle speed, deeper Depth of Cut and/or larger Tool Engagement Angle until desired spindle load is achieved.  Typically with TrueMill, 100% spindle load can be safely utilized.

Use these final parameters in the TrueMill operation page every time you use that specific combination of machine, cutter, and material – regardless of the shape of the part.
