Disclaimer: Please use this information at your own risk! The mill spins at high RPMs, and it is recommended that the mill be installed inside an enclosure such as a Casa enclosure to minimize potential damage or injury should a failure occur. I do my best to post accurate information. Millennium Machine Milo V1.5 Mill is a relatively new and not much information is available for this mill. The purpose of this post is to provide information for the Fusion 360 tool library and end mills for new users like me. The LDO Milo kit does come with a LDO CNC Starter Kit, which contains the items shown in the photo below: Before getting into the end mill settings, here is some useful additional information for you. Milo Z's column lacks the stiffest as your commercial mills. The workaround for this is operating the mill at a proper feed rate per tooth. Ideally, the setting should be 0.05. This can be accomplished by adjusting the Spindle Speed and the Cutting feedrate. Please take this info for what it's worth, I'm new to milling, and I know there's a lot more to this than I presently know, but I'm posting the settings that I've set and worked for me. You can see below that changing the Spindle Speed and the Cutting Feed, the Feed per Tooth is increased. Another important setting in the "Manufacture" section setup of Fusion 360 is that when using 2D Adaptive Clearing is necessary to set the "Optimal Load" at 10% of the tool diameter. In the example below, it's set for a 6mm end mill. It's recommended that a proper tool holder be used in the tool library to avoid possible collision when milling a part. Here is the link I used to import my ER20A collet into Fusion 360. Keep in mind that I've installed a 2.2 kW water-cooled spindle on my mill, but the LDO comes with a 1.5 kW spindle, which uses an ER16 collet.
