I have a Awea 1000 VMC that has a fanuc 0iMB control. The spindle is a 10000 rpm 15hp unit. I can only push my 3 inch Ingersol face mill at 45 ipm 3800 rpm .100 deep 2.3 wide in 6061. This shows 160% load. The spindle will start to loss rpm at 175%. I also slot in 6061 with a 1/2 inch 2 flute HSS end mill at 5300 rpm .500 deep by .500 wide at 65 ipm at 160% load.
I had a Cincinnati arrow 500 with a 7.5 hp 6000 rpm spindle that would run the same 3 inch face mill at 80ipm with the same rpm, depth and width as above and it showed 120% load. What should I be looking for?
