Any tips on cutting Depron?

[andyb]

I have a customer that needs some samples cut out of Depron. Anybody have an experience (bits, speed, RPM's, etc...) with it that they can share?

How thick is the depron?
I normally cut depron with a hotwire cnc, but you can easily make a template from formica and use a hotwire bow if it is only edge cuts

Danny,
The depron is 6mm thick. The file that the customer gave me has some pocketing 3mm in depth. Some of the pocket cuts are .125 in width and one is .25.
