| Climbing is not recommended in conventional machining. Although when used properly you can achieve a very nice finish climb milling. Notice in the video. The teeth of the cutter are in perfect poison to climb up on to the work piece. This can and will happen when this machining method is used in conventional machining to take large cuts. It can also cause end mill breakage. Now for the good stuff about Climb Milling. This is the way to get a super nice finish. To achieve a nice finish take the last .003-.005 off by climb milling. Machine your part using conventional machining until you get down to the last cut. Bump up your speed and slow down the feed and climb the last .003-.005 If the finish is worth getting out a new end mill that makes it even better when you change to a sharper end mill to climb off that last little bit. |
