Ok so its my first post on the forum....And I do know its a wood forum but when I googled this question this forum popped up so I thought I would ask my question here. I want to learn how to route HDPE sheets with a router as well to cut out basic shapes like squares out of 1/4 inch HDPE sheets of 4' x 8' material max 3/8 inch material...
So im just confused because I hear about deep feeding when cutting, cooling when cutting, certain rpms to it does not melt so im overwhelmed...
I just want an answer to these 2 questions
1. Then I want to know about cutting HDPE with routers like what drill bits do I need I keep seeing "O" flute and ball nose which I have no idea what it is... So ill be making basic square cuts in the middle of a sheet of HDPE so what type of bits and strategies/tips do you know..
2. Do I need to cool off hdpe while cutting? How can I do that?
Thank you guys in advance!
