Can we talk about how I swore off G10 for aluminum until that job at the shop in Dayton last week
I used to think G10 was only good for roughing and that you always had to slow way down for finish passes on 6061. Then my boss handed me a batch of 240 parts with a tight deadline and I had no choice but to push it. Ran it at 8000 rpm with a 3 flute and the finish came out cleaner than my old slow passes, and I knocked out the whole run in two days instead of four. Guess I was just scared of the sound it made. Anyone else switch up their speeds and feeds after being convinced one way for years?

Three flutes at 8k on 6061 is honestly the way.
