In particular if I take R8 shanked 3/4" indexable endmill with 3 APKT branded uncoated insert vs 3/4" colleted solid carbide 3 flute (uncoated, non rougher) assuming both inserts and endmill are designed for aluminum. Which of the two would require more from the machine and why?
Assuming aluminum and BP style 2hp machine.
Thx
