Re: Fixture plate

Thanks
Thanks

Fixture plate
Drew up this plate and cut it on my massive router at work out of 3/8 6061 t6 alum. Tapped all the holes with a drill and bought some M6 clamps from inventables. I also added 2 support braces on the underside to stiffen up the gantry and also provide extra support for the table. Also just finished p...

Re: Cutter flute lenght for Aluminum
The air hose should keep things from getting gummed up. I don't like manual applications of coolant and they can be inconsistent and provide thermal shock to the tool which weakens it.

I do think that it might work well at keeping my working material that have bows in it flat against the waste board so my depth cuts will be more accurate. Depending on the holding force it c...
