CNC Router – HDPE plastic notes

October 12, 2021

Notes for CNC cutting 1.5 inch thick High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).

Speed and feed 15000 rpm at 190 in/min

Use a drill bit for holes in materials this thick. Mill bit suck for drilling holes.

More flutes is not better!  Used a 3/8 diameter 1 flute or “O” flute. Great for plastic!
