What kind of improvement this will bring? More speed & torque?

Thank you

Hello guys,
So I'm doing 2 Aluminium brackets for my 0.8kw spindle.


I could do it by milling an aluminum plate, but long time ago I want to make a full video of lost PLA on plaster mold for aluminium casting.

So how I will document this:
Part 1:
-Fusion 360 modeling
-Slic3r Gcode generating
-3D printing
-PLA welding with soldering iron

Part 2:
-Make of plaster mold
-Dry of the mold & melt of PLA
-Aluminium casting

Part 3:
-Fusion 360 CAM
-Mill the aluminium bracket to the spec


Here you have the first video (Part 1/3):



Any idea os suggestion?

Thank you

Hello guys,
Today I completed the part 2 of the video, the plaster mold preparation and aluminium casting.





I hope you enjoy.

Thank you

Thanks for the comment!

I tried to mill the parts yesterday with some drawbacks:
-Too much RPM & worn out tool
-New tool with 12k rpm milled the aluminium with goos quality
-M30 at the end of Gcode that broke my carbide tool -_-

The CNC broke the mill with lots of class!

Check the video:


Thank you guys.
