4-3 Selection of the Cutter (Usage Examples)
This machine can use cutters of a wide variety of types that have a diameter of 3.175 millimeters or 4.36 millimeters.
Use an appropriate collet for the cutter’s diameter and type. For other cutters that can be used with the machine,
contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.
The table below shows samples of cutter usage, including use with or without a nose unit.
Important!
Use diameter-4.36 mm cutters at speeds of 15,000 rpm or lower. Use at higher speeds poses danger of damage to the
spindle unit due to vibration.
