Veisturs,
You will find a number of decent traders at both German and UK eBay.
I buy many tools in Germany, always fast delivery and much better prices
than the local dealers.
Regards,
Sven

Don't worry about getting the MOST from your process. Worry about getting
the BEST from your process.

always remember too that you can sacrifice depth of cut for feed rate
on your roughing passes
i think at 1kw you might not get quite the feed you are looking for at
full depth but it sounds like you are on the right track :)
i also agree that the 6061 will definitely need some sort of coolant

Well, on a tight machine, you can climb mill in aluminum, at least. it

I like WD40 as a cutting solution for finish cuts on aluminum.

Viesturs,
I use Accupro solid carbide router cutters designed for machining plastic and
aluminium. They come from www.mscindustrial.co.uk (which is a large American
company and I think they will ship across Europe). Go to www.mscdirect.co.uk
and search for MIG-30035C (on special offer right now

I have very little experience w/ 1 flutes, but was turned on to Onsrud
single flutes by a friend who does this sort of stuff for a living on big

No, I meant hardness. Diameter depends purely on your needs. Only in the
case you mill anodized aluminum

Viestors,
the endmill bit you showed is made of full carbide, a little oversized
for aluminum. Alu tools generally have a steeper cutting angle and
higher pitch than tools for iron, that's all. Moreover, much higher
cutting speed is used in alu. Be sure to use plenty of water based
fluid, I hav
Hello!
Since I have totally zero experience with milling and what tools
should be used, I would appreciate some hints.
How good are single-flute endmills? Do they induce more vibration than
2-flute endmills? It seems to me that single flute endmills might be
easier to resharpen. Is that really so?
Thanks Frank.
What is the difference between centercutting regular, square and stub
types of end mills?
thanks, Andy

Thanks Dean! I placed an order with them. I like the fact that they are
family owned and operated. Wish they had 10pc combo packs for end mills
though.

Andrew,
Since you are using a dremel then you will need to go with the tiny milling
bits.
Something like these:

You usually go with ball nose when you are profiling a surface in 3d.
