Re: Machining aluminum question


 

David, it looks like your using a proper mill, but I'm using wood working tools. I'm not so concerned with the bits ability to cut the material as I am the safety concern of machining using a profile bit with a router used for wood. I was always a "let her rip" kind of person until i lost half a finger, but now I always like to ask people with more experience before I try something new. I'd love to have the skills to run a proper mill. I've been thinking about getting a small Tormach, but I'm still on the fence. I don't have the time to learn to use a manual mill, but I'm good with cad software, and I'm certain I could learn cam relatively fast. I'm holding off because I'm sure there's more involved than learning software. I got a 3d printer and found I probably enjoy designing new tools more than I do using the tools to build things. ? ?
