What Are Some of the Challenges of CNC Milling Aluminum?
While CNC milling offers numerous benefits for working with aluminum, there are also some challenges to consider:
l Gummy Build-up: Aluminum has a low melting point. If speeds and feeds are not chosen carefully, aluminum can weld or "gum up" the cutting tool. This reduces tool life, affects surface finish, and can lead to tool breakage. Using proper coolant and sharp cutting...
