Speeds and feeds for 6082 T6 alloy

[Dean jeffery]

I ain't shy mate I ran the ripper at 13500 speed 2500 feed but was HSS

Vids on page one description on the tube vids says what I'm using mate, the latest tool and vid is 13500 1500 feed with a 3 flute carbide.

When testing alloy a good few months back I did 4mm depth 5mm carbide 4 flute 2500 feed .7 WOT 20k

I'm not so bothered about the time to some extent I just need constant results (reliable)

Facing off like your vid don't really give much griff chips are always going to move out the way, profiling brings its own issues

have you tried 1 flute for aluminum? I was always shy, avoiding the extra cost, but the finish they give is incredibly perfect. Now carbide bits are so cheap, its good to try all. I also have problem with profiling when 2 or 3 flutes used. I use 1/8 one flute with perfect rresult and am thinking of buying some 1/4 one flutes to try.
