Sacrificial waste board and facing end mill When milling a PCB even the slightest variation in height across your copper clad board can ruin your isolation milling traces To help reduce this from happening you need to mill a pocket the size of your copper clad board into a sacrificial waste board of 1 4 1 6 or 1 8 plain pine board or
FlatCAM can create a cutout for you based on the isolation milling edges with configurable tabs explained in the part about FlatCAM that hold the board in place until you snap it out from the copper clad those tabs can be actually useful as I will later on warn you of a couple of things that can happen if you re not careful with this type of cutout

As you can see from the red arrows I added for a 3/4″ depth of cut this endmill can handle no more than 0 1799″ width of cut when roughing Let s round that down and go with 0 170″ Press the finish button to see what sort of finish allowance we should have the CAM leave for our finish path and we get 0 0052″
Increase throughput and capacity in SAG mills A goldprocessing plant I visited recently valued their SAG mill downtime at US 130000 per hour so extending the life and availability of mill liners is crucial to them The reduced damage improves the mills availability and minimises the downtime This can translate to literally millions more tonnes of ore milledAs a leading global manufacturer of
Non Ferrous metals such as Aluminum Brass and Copper can be machined as well A note about safely cutting materials Some material s dust is not healthy to inhale Before milling always investigate the substances for potential health risks For reference see the 1/4″ 3 flute Speed and Feed chart
You can use it to cut through materials such as aluminum or any other sheet metal Keep in mind that you will require specific bits or attachments depending on the material you intend to cut Depending on what you would like to cut and its thickness you can decide between a cut off wheel or a 1 1/2 inch cutoff wheel which is known to cut sheet
or mill hardened tempers The age hardenable tempers e g A ½ H ing can be done before heat treating but due to the excellent machinability of high strength copper beryllium the depth of cut enters into the rate of material removal But except for the softer alloys

Taps are used to cut internal threads in a material However not all threads are made with a cutting process Roll Form taps are forced into a hole and the material is then formed around the tap This works great for softer materials like aluminum copper brass and plastics Thread mills are similar but can cut either internal or external
I would use a new and sharp not blunted carbide end mill Carbide because it s more rigid and will not flex as much when you make that cut all at once And choose your lubricant wisely especially when cutting copper
