Adaptive Toolpaths for Aluminum on the Shapeoko -

Cutting metals on a hobby CNC usually means shallow fast cuts, but that's arguably one of the worst things you can do to your endmills. Adaptive clearing gives you an alternative.

Tool Used:
Helical's #48116, 1/4" 3-flute for Aluminum - goo.gl/snNSZG

(Probably overkill for endmills larger than 1/8" if you have a consumer-grade CNC, but still interesting to reference.)
