I've got a job coming in for a bid this week in cast aluminum (customer didn't specify what type or alloy). I've never machined any type of cast aluminum so I have some very basic questions:
Do you run coolant with cast AL?
When tapping is it recommended to use a cut tap or a form tap?
Any other tips/suggestions/precautions would be appreciated. Thanks.
