Summary

We have discussed the handling of various materials in CNC in this chapter, and we have also touched on the various types of end mills. We will get deeper into a number of materials and end mills later in the book to give you some examples of specific tasks and materials. The number of permutations will boggle the mind so we can’t cover every single one here, but I can detail a few and then give you the skillset you need to make your own decisions for your own projects.

As with everything else, all tools, including end mills, are not created equal. I cannot endorse any particular vendor in this book, but you only need to choose your end mill type and read the reviews from other machinists to make an informed decision.

In the next chapter, you will make inroads with your machine and start making some cuts, applying what you have learned so far before jumping into a number of projects that will build your skills as well as offer you the ability to upgrade your machine...
