The shop just got a new VF1 and I am going to use it after hours to do some small engraving projects. It has a 10k spindle. What kind of feeds and speeds can I get away with? I have a pretty good amount of engraving to do and really don't want to be there for days. I will probably use anodized (not hard anodized) 6061 plate. So what kinda RPMs and feed rate can I run? Also does anyone have a suggestion for cutter. I have been told I can just used a #2 center drill but I would prefer to use a real engraving tool since the shop said they would buy it.
Thanks for the help guys.
