What is the best practice for slotting aluminum? I need to mill an endless supply of slotted parts and do it efficiently and fast. I have an 1100 with dual fogbusters and need to cut 1/4" thru slots .375" deep.
My past experience has been painful and would like to increase my parts per em. I am using a 2flt carbide em with short stickout very conservatively, but maybe to much and that is the problem.
Discussion on cutter type, DOC and F&S would be most helpful.
