Hi. I have a question how one would machine a .400 wide by 2.3” long slot that requires a .063” radius in corners while the depth of the slot is 1.4” in Aluminum 6061
I’ve tried many different things and keep getting a very aweful finish in the corners.
Here’s my most recent attempt where the finish cale out much better than before but still not so good.
I drill 4 holes with a .125” endmill, and then cut the slot to finish with a .25” endmill, which obviously leaves some steps around the corner, then i plunge with a .125” endmill(4times in one corner) to get rid of the steps, this way the finish is okay but still not really
Any suggestions?
