hi,
im new to milling and before purchasing any actual aluminum to machine with wanted to hopefully practice with some sort of cheaper material. from what i can tell foam will probably be my best bet. if anyone has any suggestions on some practice materials i could use them. also...if it is foam what density will be the best for me to practice with? as i understand the higher the density the higher the cost, so what would be a good balance between the two that would let me mill something decently close looking to an aluminum piece?
oh...this is just manual milling by the way...no cnc yet.
thanks for any help
