I started to build out a reference table, mostly for my Nomad, but didn’t do anything on the Shapeoko, but might go back and do that, as it’ll cross over to the 1F easily. It’s a whole playlist, so be sure to check other videos in the series. 12 & 13 are good starting points too.

Kyle make sure you watch all the video, it is only 5 minutes long but it is full of all the info you will need to set up your tool database and personalize it. (speeds and feeds on about 4minutes in)

This might be helpful - and hopefully not too against the grain - but Carbide 3D (Winston Moy) did a series for cutting different materials for their machines (Shapeoko and Nomad). Its still a good starting point for those new.

Hey Kyle - 40-60ipm is reasonable and safe for most hobbyist machines. I’ve pushed mine to 100 so far without any problems. 176 is pretty fast - well outside the speeds capable by the X-Carve, but OF is capable of doing it. I don’t know what the upper limit for speeds. I hope to do some testing and post a video - maybe I’ll target Richard’s numbers to validate (not that I don’t believe them - I just like some comfort that my machine is capable).

I think what I am battling to grasp is what would be considered a fast Feed Rate on the Onefinity. I’ve seen videos where they refer to 40-50 ipm as a conservative speed - so that is what I planned on using. However, when going through Richard Kopps Makita Calculator , I see that his examples referring to an 1/8 inch 2 flute End Mill - He suggests 12k RPM at 132 ipm or 16k RPM at 176ipm (For Ply or MDF), in order to obtain the correct Chip load for that bit .

If you join the Onefinity CNC Users Group on Facebook, A user Richard Kopp uploaded an excel sheet for Makita Feed & Speed Calculator. Hopefully that will help some.

I don’t have many bits at the moment, but while playing with the ones I do have, I tried moving from MDF to Hardwood pieces but am unsure how to adjust my speeds and feeds.

Would love to see the feed and speed calculator however I do not have a Facebook account. Is this available as a different link not on Facebook?

The body of carbide-tipped circular saw blades consists of pretensioned tool steel. Raw saws have a tip groove, onto which no cutting plates made of carbide can be precisely soldered. Soldering takes place during production using automatic machines. However, for service work, it is carried out manually with the aid of machines, as this only involves replacing individual broken cutting edges. Silver or a sandwich alloy is used as solder. Resistive-soldering equipment is used most frequently during repairs on circular saw blades. Defective teeth can also be removed with this equipment.

Thanks Paul. Whereabout on the site, if you don’t mind me asking? I can find the Tool Poster and the catalogue, but nothing about Feeds and Speeds.

Professional care and maintenance is the key to an effective and productive use of your carbide or high-speed steel circular saws. With the correct grinding technique and machine this is no problem.

Surely Richard Kopp would not mind. Here is a link to my google drive with the file. Makita Feed & Speed Calculator by Richard Kopp

I am looking for a comprehensive guide on how to set my Spindle speed, Feed Rate and Plunge rate for various materials - or as a rule of thumb, how these figures vary between MDF, Softwoods and Hardwoods.

Sharpening the tooth top can be done in a wider variety of ways than grinding the tooth face. The geometries can be designed to be straight to almost round, depending on the range of applications of the carbide-tipped circular saw blade. The tooth top is sharpened with a face grinding or peripheral grinding process. Sharpening using a face grinding process is particularly time-saving. Using this method, the grinding wheel must simply be turned through a certain angle in order to produce a wide range of tooth shapes (such as trapezoidal, roof, etc.). Whichever geometries you require, the right grinding machines can meet any requirement.

The flanks of a saw tooth are ground to a tapered shape in the cutting and feed direction, in order to prevent the cutting edges from pressing into the material. The precision of the tooth flanks significantly influences the surface quality. Grinding is carried out once when the circular saw is manufactured using a face grinding or peripheral grinding process.

As a rule, tooth faces are sharpened straight; however sometimes they are also sharpened at an angle. Tooth face machining also includes hollow face grinding. This is carried out using a grinding point at high speed. However, this method cannot be used for every circular saw blade. There must be a certain amount of chip space available in order to be able to sharpen the tooth face using peripheral grinding. In particular, it must be ensured that the grinding point is positioned exactly in the middle of the saw blade diameter and the cutting width.

Here’s an article that I think might be of interest to many of you. I think it does a good job of explaining the concepts. I don’t have any connection or financial interest in the company making the post, but I subscribe to his email list because I have found many of his posts interesting.
