Re: CNC Aluminum: Recommended Speeds/Bits?

Highly recommend the Onsrud single-flute cutters as well. We use them religiously in our lab on our CNC router. We run .125" to .250" diameter cutters depending on the parts

We use a Unist mister and coolant setup on our router, and are very happy with it. It periodically deposits a mist of coolant, and it doesn't seem like very much of it aerates. I don't ever smell it. I haven't noticed any changes to the environment/air since using them. We run 4 of the mister units in a very small workshop on our lathe, cold saw, manual mill, CNC router. All the mist seems to end up on the workpiece and machine (not in the air), and clean-up is a simple wipe down.
