Customer writes - Would you send the correct information for QuickCam Pro when using the 1/64" cutter to cut lithophanes on the Compact 1000?

There are only 4 settings you need to change.

In QuickCAM, click on the OPTIONS tab and select UNITS. You can then select METRIC or IMPERIAL (inches).

Tool size
Diameter = 0.0156” (0.390mm)
Length = 1.200” (30mm)
Flute length = 0.200” (5mm)
Type = Flat

Step Over = 40%
FeedRate = 4000
Spindle Speed = 23000
