I'm having trouble yet again with routing aluminium. It's my own fault, trying to use 1/16" aluminium router cutters is asking for trouble! I think it's the feedspeed / depth of cut / spindle rpm that I can't quite get. I'm running out of patience though, as I have snapped 3 cutters today trying different things.
So if you were given the job of cutting a "computer 80mm fan grill" from 6082 aluminium, and you had a cnc router, how would you approach it? Or if not aluminium, is there a similar material that would be easier to machine this way? Thanks!
