Hi,
I am trying to cut pockets and profiles about 140mm (5.5") deep in solid African Bubinga, using a 3Kw spindle So far the best results we have had have been done using 170mm 16mm up-spirals eased in very gently with very light cuts, however through vibration, the main problem is the router bit pulling itself out of the Collet. I have tried straight deep pocket cutters with the same result
I am thinking of having a 16mm dedicated collet that I "glue" onto the cutter using some form of locktite. Has anyone tried this approach - any suggestions or experience most welcome.
PS please don't tell me it cannot be done......
Ralph
