I have to run a 1/16 endmill in 6061. I am using a air powered spindle to get to the 45000 rpm where carbide should be happy.
My question is should I use 2 or 4 flute. Will 4 flute have enough chip clearance for aluminum? Most cuts will be with about a 10 to 15% setover but there are a couple cuts that will be full width. Cut depth 1/16".
