I'm curious since I have a lot of time in this profession, but not a lot of variety.
If you are roughing, then finish milling after. How much stock do you leave to clean up on both radial and floor?
For Aluminum?
Radial = A
Floor = B
For carbon Steel
Radial = C
Floor = D
And why that amount?
My answers for carbide end mills are
A= .02
B= .01
C= .01
D= .03
I like a little more floor on the steel so that it hopefully gets a little more heat in the cut and doesn't tear the floor.
