Yknow, I actually would really like to know how to stop this nonsense happening…
0.5mm tapered ballnose in maple, doing a raster finish pass in the grain direction, I keep getting these nests of strandy stuff on descending sloped sections, takes an annoying amount of cleanup to remove
Any ideas how to adjust the parameters to stop it? Tends to happen in oak as well
Your average woodworking router is already running at something like 20k RPM for ~6mm and larger bits. High speed should do fine on wood, at whatever feed rate doesn’t burn it. Maybe just use light passes to save your endmills.
That said, I am most assuredly NOT a CNC machinist, just a nerd with woodworking tools and a couple of low end maker devices that run gcode.

Thanks! Yeah I’m always a bit wary of running these bits too fast, I’ve broken far too many lately, but I’ll max out the rpm and see what happens 🤞
