I need some advice for engraving. My machine has a 6mm collette ( if you recall I made the reducer to 3mm) I tried putting in a drill bit for boring holes, that went poorly. drill bits are clearly not meant to run at those speeds. It vibrated badly so I stopped it. I have been looking for smaller size endmills (2mm) but noting smallest is a 3mm see my pic form earlier today, that one never even turned.
There is a point so I shall get to it.
I would like to drill holes around 2,5mm ( to be threaded for a M3 bolt) And would like to know how you guys get on with it.
Do you run a Peck drill canned cycle or just a standard drill cycle… Also using a 2mm endmill and doing a pocket cut is a decent option with circular interpolation
