    Cutting sheet aluminum to get a round piece

    Say I have a stock of 500x500x20mm sheet metal. I need to mill to get a 100mm dia round piece (and have the rest of the sheet). What operation would the best for the job?

    Mill it on aluminum plate. Just mill a down helix spiral at slow feed rate.
