First Aluminum Attempt

Just wanted to clarify that adaptive toolpaths are not considered finishing strategies. Glad to hear everything is working well!

and I found that out last night! The hard way.

I also found out how good a coated single flute 1/4" endmill is. I left all the default settings on an adaptive clearing path and did not take multiple passes (yes by mistake).

That bit plowed through the full thickness of the 1/8" plate with no problem and chips were flying 2-3 feet away from the machine. I would rather do this in two passes but it was amazing to watch.
