End mills for cutting aluminum are razor sharp and often have a radical helix angle. This combination makes it very easy to chip the corner of the cutting edge. If you can, use an end mill with a corner radius to reduce the risk of corner chipping. FEEDS AND SPEEDS: For production, you can push the tool to at least 1% of its diameter per tooth.

End mills for aluminum are often available in either 2 flute or 3 flute styles. With higher flute counts, it would become difficult to evacuate chips effectively at the high speeds at which you can run in aluminum. This is because aluminum alloys leave a large chip, and chip valleys become smaller with each additional flute on an end mill. ...

Figure 10 shows the microchannel fabricated after the fifth pass using 10% KOH electrolyte at 60 V machining voltage. From Figure 10b, it can be observed that the end of the channel had a relatively larger overcut compared to the average channel width. It is because the tool electrode was given a vertical feed after each pass during the ...
