    Hello gents.
    I've googled it and searched it and there's a lot of info I just don't understand about it.

    I'm looking for simple advice, not links to tables or previous threads, as I know this has been asked before.

    What is the best cutter, mill speed and feed rate to mill 10mm aluminium?

    I've tried alsorts!
    I have a 3040 cnc
    I'm using a 4mm end mill.

    I've tried 2,3 and 4 flute
    16000, 20000 and 25000rpm on my Kress 1050w
    200mm per minute and sped this up and slowed it down
    I'm cutting .7mm per plunge and and still clogging and snapping bits like there's no tomorrow

    Any advice greatly appreciated

    Thank you
    John
