    6063 aluminum profile machining - slipping and shifting

    I am trying to machine window aluminum profiles using Fomindustrie-Dali 70 machine, with pneumatic clamps and 5 mm & 10 mm end mill tool, 12,000 RPM & 0.4 feed rate. my profile is about 350 mm. during my machining process, my profile shifts. I don't know the problem is with clamping, with the oil or RPM & feed. by the way, clamping system is automatic in this machine.
    I appreciate if you could help me.

    Thank you

    Well, stop it from shifting!
    Try adding clamps beside the profile. Top clamps will hold it down, but are often not good enough to stop sideways movement Been there.

    Cheers
