Re: Fadal Drilling speed
about Once you get into full sized CNC machines its not so much a question of what the "machine" can do, more a question of what the tooling can do. I had to drill a double grid pattern of 20mm holes

Fadal Drilling speed
Hi Guys I'm wondering how fast a Fadal 4020 can drill a series of 15/16 holes thru 3/8 mild steel, rectangular patttern, 2 rows of 4, 4" centers? I don't have any experience with these machines, but

You are rounding which is fine if you are cutting out a square say but what about a circle or a diagonal or a spline? You are effectively adding the quantization error before you move the
