The tap file was programed with tool speeds of 300 inches per minute horizontally, 150 inches per minute vertically. I've been doing it this way for years. The reality is however that unless your machine is capable of accelerating and decelerating quickly it will never reach these kinds of speeds on a file like this. I was pleased with my six year old MultiCam, especially after my tech tuned the parameters for the types of files we were running. But when I fired up the new 3000 series MultiCam I discovered just how much faster they have made the machine in the last years. This machine was dialed in from the factory for my kind of routing.
If you have trouble with the embedded video here's the tube link.
And before I knew it the file was run. Four taps in two sizes were ready for paint.
