Got some 5083 4mm plate today , was told its hard & expensive too get 6061 that thin? . Also think my remaining 3mm carbide cutters are now dull ,from trying to cut crappy 3mm 1050 ,ally guy said the 3mm I had previous tried too cut was not 1050 was 5005 ?. Anyway Now have 5083 tried recommended feeds & speeds from g-wizard started good but then snapped after a minute or so. They didn't gum up just clean snap is this due too the bits being dull?
There isn't really a good supplier of end mills here in Australia so have too order from the US , which takes few weeks too arrive so wasting Bits gets frustrating.
Cheers
