In this video, I talk about how I make my DIY desktop CNC machine mill metal faster. The online machining speeds and feeds calculators are geared towards industrial grade machines that are very rigid and can handle high loads. But they do not work for DIY or desktop CNC machines or routers. So, I will talk about how I found the right speeds and feeds to push my machine to its limits by using adaptive clearing ( or High Efficiency Milling HEM). I will demonstrate this with aluminum and steel. The logic and method followed here will apply to any CNC machine, but more specifically to any desktop or hobby type of CNCs.
