    What grade of aluminium do you guys typically go for when buying sheet material for machining from Aluminium warehouse? Options include 1050 or 5251.

    Was originally planning on the 1050, but reading the description which says "99% purity" makes me think it might gum up the cutters similar to 5083 grade plate. I'm looking for something that ideally cuts similar to 6082 as that's been my 'go to grade' for plate so far.

    Cheers,
    Raz
