I am getting closer to having a high speed spindle (Bosch 1617EVS

Anyway, as far as using it goes, I want to engrave text, like on
panels and such. What sort of end mill would you recommend. Thanks

Plasma / or laser - only way to engrave nowadays.
So hook a laser head up to your Bport EMC2? why not?

Don't waste your time with cutters - its too labor intensive.
duh..........
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX (never heard that one eh?)

* *What box?

Well, there are so many "boxes" that we live with.
Reminds me of an old Toolmaker - acktually the mold shop foreman at
the time.
Good old George, smart guy. Knew alot about machining. fixtures, jigs,
cutters, good at trig, cross slide turntable wiz, indexing with
dividing & Harig heads ect. Anyway he had a black box. Kept in his
tool box, kinda like a secret thing. Would always ask the guys that
came over to his bench " Wanna see whats in the box today? - for a
dollar"
He'd change it around with different "stuff" he'd collected over the
years, or sometimes nothing!
Kept the money collected in a cup & when there was enough lunch would
be on him.
So lesson learned???????


Smart ass me: " I dont care about boxes, the question is, whats your
bag man"g
