Is anybody using the large multi insert cutters on Alum..and if so do you have a brand..model you liked?
I am just about done with the final version prototypes of a 2 inch thick Alum part. I would like to use one of these insert cutters to do the roughing and finish while hanging out 2 inches. Really don't want to go larger than 2" in diameter.
Kyocera has been sending me sale fliers on their insert cutters lately (see Vid)
But you have to use a aluminum insert from a different cutter line...don't like the sound of that.. So lets hear it.

I have a corn cob cutter like that from valinite that we use on alum and it works great,but just for roughing.The tools have a slight step out as they go down the tool,and make sure the part is very sacure or it will pull your part loose.

Thanks for input. I would love it if I could get one to finish also. I have to talk with Kenametal this week..hopefully get one of theirs to try out.
