Greetings,
Anyone have any tips on how to achieve a nice smooth finish when side milling 6061 aluminum?
I have a Lagun vertical mill (BP clone) converted to CNC with ballscrews. I can't for the life me figure out how to get a really nice smooth finish when side milling. I have tried many different kinds of end mills and lots of speeds and feeds and I just can't seem to get a super smooth finish.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kerry Harrison
