Next we can consider machining some aluminum stock. A SFM, on a benchtop mill or router, of 500 would be a safe starting point. Using the same end mill as in the previous calculation you get an RPM of 7,640 which, as you would expect, is double the previous result. Again when you calculate the feedrate it is double the previous result at 61 in/min.

Ball end mills, also known as ball nose end mills, are used for milling contoured surfaces, slotting and pocketing. A ball end mill is constructed of a round cutting edge and used in the machining of dies and molds. Roughing end mills, also known as hog mills, are used to quickly remove large amounts of material during heavier operations.

The max depth you should use in a slot cut is the diameter of the end mill, so for a 1/4" OD end mill, you can cut 1/4" deep at a time. If you need to go deeper then make multiple passes. The max axial depth of cut, meaning the max amount of the end mill that is touching the work when doing profiling cuts, is 1-1/2 the diameter of the end mill.

Step 2: Building the Base. Begin with the 80/20 extruded Aluminum base. This is the backbone of the machine so it's important to get it setup nice and square- use a machinist's square to get the alignment correct. An 11" long section forms the back upright and a 10.5" long section is used for the lower base.

The reason is that aluminum produces very large chips relative to other materials. The flutes provide the path for chips to escape when the endmill is down in a hole or slot. 2 and 3 flute endmills have a lot more chip clearance so they work with aluminum. Using a 4 flute where the chips are confined at all results in jammed chips and a broken ...

T-Slot End Mills can easily cut accurate keyways & T-slots in the tables and beds of machine tools and similar applications. A vertical slot must be milled first, so that the neck and shank can enter the cut. T-Slot Cutters have a positive radial and axial rake, with a straight tooth design or staggered side cutting teeth for better chip clearance.

End mills for aluminum are often available in either 2 flute or 3 flute styles. With higher flute counts, it would become difficult to evacuate chips effectively at the high speeds at which you can run in aluminum. This is because aluminum alloys leave a large chip, and chip valleys become smaller with each additional flute on an end mill.

Aluminum can melt and fuse to the tool if there's too much heat. So even though it cuts like butter, it won't for long if the aluminum sticks to the tool and you end up doing friction stir welding instead of machining. Beyond keeping friction to a minimum, chatter can be a beast when you're pushing the machine.

In aluminum cutting the full .250 without having to use an undersize cutter and stepping over should be pretty easy. A cutter might be ground out of the shank end of a HSS single-end end mill. I would think that unless your key is to be cut into a bore that is longer than say an inch, flexion should not be an issue.
