Milling 6061-T6 Aluminum, 1/4" Ball End Mill, Pocket is 1-3/16" Deep. Thanks!-Nate . M. Milland Diamond. Joined Jul 6, 2006 Location Hillsboro, New Hampshire. Apr 18, 2016 #2 For that depth, I'd not use HSS, just carbide. Is the inside corner radius also .125? Is so, you'll be hammering the endmill each time you come to a corner. Ideally …

A typical end mill may be referred to as an "Upcut Spiral" by the CNC Router world. Other than small geometry changes to optimize for wood, end mills and upcut spirals are interchangeable. The more common spelling is "end mill", but I often use "endmill" as well. The two are pretty interchangeable. Carbide vs HSS End Mills
Four and More Flute HSS Center Cutting End Mills. Center cutting end mills can be used for spot drilling, profiling and contouring of complex surfaces. Four and more flute HHS end mills from Regal Cutting Tools provide a number …
Damn. $40 for a side cutting end mill. My mill maxes out at 4200 RPM and a 1/2" EM is something like 525 SFM at full speed. This barely makes a dent in the range for carbide in aluminum. When milling aluminum, based on my speeds available, should I keep buying coated carbide or find quality HSS mills?

With regard to when a HSS end mill needs to be sharpened, it is a plain and simple fact that us hobby guys typically cut with the end of an end mill and this is especially true when we are first starting out. ... My little Sherline can push a 3/8" coarse pitch rougher in a full 3/8" deep slot in 6061 without even slowing down. Use finishing end ...
For Radial Depth of Cut use 0.25 X Tool Dia. Use Higher SFM Range. For Long and Extra Carbide Reduce Feed by 50%. Customer Service. Tel: 248.528.5220. Fax: 248.528.5600.

I'm running a 1.25" three flute end mill (HSS / TiCN) in plain-old 6061-T6 Aluminum. Is 590 SFM too much for HSS? I ran a couple tests (slotting with 0.75" depth) …

Ahidley, here's my rules of the thumb for settings feeds and speeds for both HSS and carbide endmills. HSS SFM's Mild Steel 100 Free Brass 300 6061 Aluminum 400 Now for uncoated carbide tooling multiply those SFM rates times 3, for coated carbide multiply times 4. Your RPM is then calculated as: RPM = (4 x SFM)/(Diameter)
Milling a recess in a block of 6061 aluminum, End Mill is a 3/4" 4 flute HSS end mill that I bought from LMS (my Mill is a mini 3990). They're coated with some kind of gold coating. Spindle RPM a little over 1000. I have added power feed to the X axis and it's probably around 9-10 IPM. It doesn't have speed control.
I'm using the following feeds and speeds for milling alloy 6061 and Fortal (7075) aluminum plate, bar and billets.. 0.250" dia x 2-flute end mill.....15 ipm x 2500 rpm 0.500" dia x 2 flute end mill.....8 ipm x 1250 rpm Endmills are center-cutting TiCN coated HSS Spindle motor is rated for 3600rpm/3HP w/2-speed gearbox.
In this study, the flow stress-strain relationship of AA 6061-T6 is obtained at a high temperature (up to 400 °C) and a high strain rate (up to 1 × 104 s −1). Temperature-dependent Johnson-Cook (J-C) model is proposed by considering dynamic recrystallization effect. By the modified J-C model, a two-dimensional simplified FE model is ...
In the metric system, the feed rate of the cutter can be calculated for each revolution of the cutter. M.M.P.R. = Chip load x Number of flutes. Meters Per Minute (MPM) — The cutting speed of the end mill. This system is used in all countries that use the Metric system. MPM represents the rate of the surface of the cutter passes over the ...

DOC is 0.75mm (less for the last couple of passes) as at 1mm and above the machine vibrates. The tool has only had light use before (it wasn't brand new). I've machined 10 rebates in preparation for cutting the dovetails. Each one is 24mm in the direction of cut x 6mm deep x 15mm (cut in two passes). At the end of this the end mill …
The three other parameters are axial depth of cut, radial depth of cut, and feed of cut. The workpiece material used in this research is AL 6061-T6, the cutting tool used is HSS end milling with diameter 4 mm, and the mode employed is side milling. The experiment is designed according to the Taguchi method, and it includes sixteen samples.

For general purpose carbide endmill try 600 to 800 SFM with a chipload of .008-.01 for a 1 inch endmill. For other tool diameters use the chipload for a 1 inch endmill and multiply it by your tool diameter. So a chip load for a 1/2 diameter tool would be .5*.008 = .004 chipload on a 1/2 inch tool.
When milling or drilling, or creating a tool path for a CNC machine the feed rate must be determined. Materials have rated surface speeds for a given type of cutter. The harder the material the slower the speed. Given the diameter of the tool and the surface speed, the RPMs of the spindle can be calculated.
I bought this face mill 4.92 kennametal 7 insert face mill - eBay (item 6 end time Feb-14-11 15:07:34 PST) in hopes of using it to face mill an aluminum intake manifold. My goal is being able to make light cuts (anywhere from .015" to .005") with a good surface finish.
