2 flute for 4 flute mill for aluminum?? I don't own a mill yet, and it will be a little while before I get one...but going to need to use my drill press or the lathe to bowl out head buttons until I do get one.
I have been buying cheap carbide cutters for my lathe. How long will HSS last cutting aluminum?? Is the carbide overkill?? If the carbide is the right way to go, which one should I be getting?? I think I have seen C2, C5, and I don't know how many others...
Thanks in advance for the help,
Sean
