Hello boys and girls,
Just want to get your thoughts on using a 1mm end mill in aluminium.
What kind of depth of cut should I be shooting for? The alu isn't the best of grades but I'm throwing plenty of coolant at it.
At the moment I'm doing fine machining 0.3mm pockets in two passes. 0.2mm first and then 0.1mm. I'd like to push that to one pass if I can.
1mm 2-flute.
4mm shank
3mm flute length.
Thanks
Neal
