CNC Molds N Stuff 628 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Ok... I am gambling now. Been working on "production" molds for the last several weeks. Finally got back to this design. I changed the layout, placed it on a bigger piece of plate, and now I am trying to cut it as a 5 cavity. I am using a bigger more powerful spindle, and while it doesn't spin quite as fast it doesn't seem to bog down, and it is more rigid. After a 16 hour cut the spindle nut was just a little warm to the touch. The old spindle would have been hot enough to be uncomfortable to unscrew. Quote Link to comment
