What should I do if the plastic material melts during machining?
What should I do if the plastic material melts during engraving?If the plastic material melts during engraving, the **Spindle Speed** or **Feed Rate** may be set too high, too low, or improperly matched for the material being machined.
If melting occurs, stop the machining process immediately and perform the following checks:
1. Check whether melted plastic has accumulated on the cutting tool.
2. If plastic residue is attached to the tool, remove the cutting tool according to the instructions in the user manual, and carefully clean off any melted plastic.
3. Reinstall the cutting tool and resume machining.
Notes
1. The **Spindle Speed** and **Feed Rate** should be adjusted according to the type of plastic material being machined.
2. A worn or dull cutting tool may also cause the material to melt. If necessary, replace the cutting tool with a new one.
3. If you are using materials that are not supplied by BRAVOPRODIGY, it is recommended to perform a test cut first to determine the appropriate **Spindle Speed** and **Feed Rate** before starting the actual machining process.
