Machining of aluminum alloys requires the use of appropriate cutting conditions and tools, because the material is highly flexible. Depending on the alloy additives, the machinability of the material will be different, which should be taken into account when creating the machining technology. Aluminum milling takes place at relatively high rotational speeds and feeds. Of course, the selection of these parameters is influenced by a number of factors, not only the type of alloy and tool, but also the power of the machine, the method of fastening the part and the tool.

One of the methods of machining aluminum alloys is high-speed machining using Volumill technology. Thanks to the shape of the paths generated by CAM software (such as Solidworks CAM or CAMWorks), we use the working length of the tool to the maximum extent, while taking care of the even load, as well as the removal of chips and heat. This method of work contributes to the extension of the tool life and a significant reduction of the machining time.
