................if only he sold his HSS-AL milling cutters for Aluminium in standard lengths. As it is I feel obliged to use as much of the tool edge as possible on the long series ones to get my monies worth. Swarf goes everywhere.

35mm width of cut, 0.020" depth of cut 12mm 2-flute cutter, feed about 6" per min, speed what seemed right, Material 6082.

The 6mm dia ones cope quite well profiling 20mm width as wellsmiley

Hi there, Jason,

People who've got space for a milling machine AND who've got a milling machine in that space shouldn't be blaming anyone for anything - they should be spending all their time usefully enjoying that facility!

So there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best regards,

Swarf, Mostly!
