2004-2-23€ initial feeds and speeds were obtained using the feed/speed tables in the Machinerys Handbook 26th Edition. However, it is not clear to me how one reconciles the different feeds and speeds quoted for aluminum in Tables 10 versus those in Table 15. For example, Table 10 quotes f/s=15/165 optimum and 8/850 avg for end-milling with HSS.

You can find 6061 aluminum on many online stores as well as EBay and Amazon. You can buy it in sheets, plates or bars, making it easy to find the stock that is best for your job. For the purpose of the rest of this article as well as any reference to working with Aluminum on a STEPCRAFT, 6061 is the grade that we are talking about.

2014-12-24€luminum is best with a 2 flute cutter but 3 is OK. Based on your machines parameters you have about .004 chipload - not bad. You could go down to 18 IPM to get a .0028 chipload to help the clogging - but any lower and you could get into more friction and chip welding. Coolant certainly helps. Coatings help with aluminum - I like the TiAln coating.
