Best tool for roughing wide widths on cnc
2/21/18
I have been searching for a hogger style tool for our cnc, but I keep coming up short on length for our operation. I need to make a planing cut at just under 3 3/4" in width. Guhdo offers a helical planing head that they claim with remove 1/2" of material in 1 pass, but the length is just short. Any other cutters I have looked at spec out at arouns 1/8" - 3/16" depth of cut. I am not opposed to using an hsk arbor with a shaper cutter if it gets me where I need to be and the rotating weight is not excessive. Anybody got any good ideas?
