I am looking for a face mill but I really don't know which is best for my application. 45* or 90* 2" or 3"? I will be surfacing 6061 extrusion with no shoulders for now. I want to be able to get a nice surface finish I have a cat 40 holder for my machine that came with other tooling when I bought the machine. The holder is a Big Kaiser with a 1" arbor my machine a Sharp 2416 with a 10 HP spindle is what I will be using it in. Why 45* or 90* what does one do the other doesn't? I can understand a 90* could be used up against a wall feature does one produce a better finish than the other? Does the 45* remove more material faster?
Sorry for the dumb questions. I tried searching for face mill but the results were all over the place and I found no direct discussions for face mills.
