Veisturs,
You will find a number of decent traders at both German and UK eBay.
I buy many tools in Germany, always fast delivery and much better prices
than the local dealers.
Regards,
Sven

well then ill put my .02 in
what aluminum alloy?
what quantity of material to remove whats the power of the spindle and
whats the fastest effective machining feed of the machine?
Aluminium
always remember too that you can sacrifice depth of cut for feed rate
on your roughing passes
i think at 1kw you might not get quite the feed you are looking for at
full depth but it sounds like you are on the right track :)
i also agree that the 6061 will definitely need some sort of coolant

The merits of FAST feed and FAST spindle speed are debatable and depend on
many factors. Make cuts with your machine to determine what it/you can do.
Don't worry about getting the MOST from your process. Worry about getting
the BEST from your process.

Since I have totally zero experience with milling and what tools

How good are single-flute endmills? Do they induce more vibration than
2-flute endmills? It seems to me that single flute endmills might be
easier to resharpen. Is that really
Viestors,
the endmill bit you showed is made of full carbide, a little oversized
for aluminum. Alu tools generally have a steeper cutting angle and
higher pitch than tools for iron, that's all. Moreover, much higher
cutting speed is used in alu. Be sure to use plenty of water based
fluid, I

No, I meant hardness. Diameter depends purely on your needs. Only in the

Viesturs,
I use Accupro solid carbide router cutters designed for machining plastic and
aluminium. They come from www.mscindustrial.co.uk (which is a large American
company and I think they will ship across Europe). Go to www.mscdirect.co.uk
and search for MIG-30035C (on special offer right
I like WD40 as a cutting solution for finish cuts on aluminum.

Well, on a tight machine, you can climb mill in aluminum, at least. it

Thanks Dean! I placed an order with them. I like the fact that they are
family owned and operated. Wish they had 10pc combo packs for end mills
though.
