3/8\" vortex three flut compresion bit at 18000 rpm cutting 3/4\" plywood

I was cutting some plywood at 480 ipm, and in the middle of the cut the spindel motor stoped while the machine still moved to finish the cut and the bit snaped.
Is this something that happenes often, or is this a problem that needs imidiate attention?

thanks for your help guys
i am a litle disapointed right now cause before i did start to work on eCabs i did a elipse on the CNC manualy and it worked great

Justin

i did a cabinet like that, and what i did is build the cabinet on its side
it did not have a adj. shelf but a fixd one that i made as partitian
it was not the greatest cab but it worked
i wish i could send you that cab, but it got deleted

i am trying to make an elipticel cut out on a door
what is the iziest way to do that

thank you

i am trying to cut this job today, it's a important client and they want it by the end of the week


does anyone have any sugestions, or shud i just cut it without the doors

Justin

check red oak sheets
the hardware holes are everywhere, and it looks like that some of the door slabs will not cut.

i am not shure if this is eCab or nesting control problem?
when we try to nest gruped doors and drowers it all gets mesd up, for example hardware holes get driled in wrong spots sometimes even outside the router table
did anybody else experienced this and how can i fix it?

thank you

what i did is make edgebanding that's 0.0001 inches thick and it works great

Does anyone have problem with hole patterns, or is it just me?
They never seem to work perfectly. They are either not deep enough, or they are just slightly misplaced.
This goes for hinge and slide patterns!

I did couple more drowers yesterday and the same thing happened. I belive the reason for that is the radius of the dowetail bit. The radius in the set up needs to be .375, but the true radius of the bit is more then .5, so machine thinks that the bit is smaller than it realy is, and it causes the cu...

no i did not because i only needed 4 drowers, so they were cut out of one shit
but for the next time i will try that

Scott,

The whole cabinet was made out of bleck melamine and i had to change sides, railes, upper shelf and drower fronts to be different material!
Yes, there was one more cabinet, but i deleted that one and rebuilt it!

I am sorry, but i allready swiched back to build 2 and i changed the cabinet, so i am not shure if that cabinet is going to be helpfull, but here is the cabinet anyways.
