Fewer flutes means larger chips - larger chips are more easily evacuated from the cutting area, which means less recutting - reducing heat and improving tool life.Ģ) Promptly remove chips from the cutting area. I use the single-flute aluminum but that axiom sells from Amana. You can avoid this by paying attention to two things:ġ) Use an endmill with no more than 2 flutes.
If you allow the chips to build up in the cutting area (so that they are re-cut), overheating will quickly occur. If either becomes too hot, you will weld the endmill to the workpiece - likely ruining both at the same time.
The absolute key to proper milling of metals is chip/heat removal so that the workpiece and endmill stay cool enough. I recently just milled some custom parts of out a 1" thick block of 6061 aluminum.
