Ordered in some Alum thought they were going to shear from a 6061 sheet but i got 5052.The little i have read about this alloy dosn\'t look very positive for mability.Has anyone machined this on a machining center with any luck.Or should i quit now and get in the rite

Ya, I\'m willing guess that 5052 is almost twice as hard machine than 6061. But that still make\'s it a cakewalk compared other materials. But the stuff sucks machine, forget 4 flute EM\'s, they gum up and snap in no time. Even 2 flute EM\'s you have
First, this is a machining question. I\'ve found and to be good forums with lots of machinists helping out. Also, doing metal working on a wood drill press is not a good way of getting high precision. If at all possible, find a knee mill,
But even with accupro brand mills, I usually run between 6000-7000 RPM and between 30-50 IPM with about a .150-.250 depth of cut. I always get the carbide ZrN coated endmills. I love machining aluminum cause you can hog the crap out of
Machining does not affect the of the plate The tooling plate is IMO, the worst for warping, particulary if you are using a thin cross section (less than yet a relatively large piece. should not be as or become as
Years ago, late 50\'s, into the mid 60\'s, I was employed by Sperry. They used a wax product that was the best lubricant for tapping aluminum I\'ve ever used. It resembled bee\'s wax in color, but was quite thin, even thinner than Vaseline. We\'d apply it with an acid
11 Easy CNC Router Aluminum Cutting Tips 2020 Folks often ask whether a CNC Router can cut aluminum. used to seeing them primarily cut wood and plastics. My answer to this question is always, any CNC Router can cut aluminum if you do it
The greatest indicator of proper and improper cutting speed is the color of the chip. When using a high-speed steel drill bit, the chips should never be turning brown or blue. Straw-colored chips indicate that you are on the maximum edge of the cutting speed

Good Finish Mills Fly Cutters I posted photos of aluminum that I tried to finish this morning with a 4 flute end mill and also with a fly cutter. After reading some more, and using WD-40, things came out better. The photos

Cut-off tools and necking tools for machining aluminum and its alloys should have from 12 to 20 degrees back rake angle and the end relief angle should be from 8 to 12 degrees. Excellent threads can be cut with single-point tools in even the softest
Leo, I\'m not a machinist but I think most people have problems machining aluminum because of not enough chip load, which only shows up as discolored bits and smoking when cutting wood, but leads to gummed up broken bits on Alum. regardless the
Getting good results in dry machining requires more than specifying the correct cutting tools. also important to run them at optimum spindle speeds, feed rates and depths of cut. If changing the groove does not control the chips adequay, for example,
From quick research, it looks like a bending brake rated to handle 12-gauge steel should be capable of bending thick aluminum. However I don\'t have such a brake, nor can I justify the expense of getting even a used

Even asphalt will apparently have a finish (that water you saw in the mirage was a reflection of the sky) if the angle of incidence is right. Ask to see the mirror finish looking straight down on the part and see more clearly what these finishes are all

I\'ll be machining the window pieces in aluminum so it won\'t be like cutting steel. I started with the hexagon by turning a series of incremental sizes in a piece of cold rolled steel bar stock, increasing the depth of cut by per cutter with a pitch. I
Nickel alloys work harden rapidly, and the high pressures produced during machining cause a hardening effect that slows further machining and may also cause warping in small parts. Using cold-drawn stress-relieved material is preferable for machining.
is there a secret to tapping threads in maybe some special in the past i\'ve had problems with the tap or die galling and wiping or pulling out the threads as i cut them in aluminum. i don\'t know which brand of cutting oil i\'m using, but i always

Porosity can be a problem in aluminum welding. Less than 3 percent by volume passes most industry codes and standards. But go over, and costs build, hour by dollar hour. THE COST A welder lays down a gas-metal-arc bead on a thick-walled aluminum
Linseed oil of any type should always be thinned with turpentine other for use and should never be used straight. Just thin it out with a bit of turps and it is good to go.
