Frequently Asked Questions
Is each of these bits compatible with Origin?
Yes, all three of these bits will fit the 8 mm collet that is supplied with Origin.
How deep can I cut in one pass?
As a general rule of thumb for cutting wood, it’s best to never cut deeper than the diameter of the bit. So for a 3 mm bit, you should not cut deeper than 3 mm in a single pass. Because every material is different, it’s best to perform test cuts to find the ideal pass depth and cut specs when working with a new material.
What is the best spindle speed, feed rate, and plunge rate for each of these bits?
This depends on the material you are cutting. You can find more information on recommended settings for Origin based on material types in this article:material recommendations.
How can I best maintain my cutters?
Resin, sap, and adhesives will build up on your cutter edge over time. This generates more friction on your cutter and accelerates edge degradation. Keep your cutters clean with a small brass brush, citrus cleaner and a rag.
