Greetings, I'm fairly new to CNC machining and modern cutting tool features like corner radii and variable flute/helix.
It seems to me that unless I need a square corner I would use a corner radius tool for basically everything, is that practical or common? What downside is there really to corner radius tools? Cutting primarily aluminum at the moment, and I have a decently large collection of HSS tooling I would like to get some use out of.
Thanks in advance if you have anything to share.
