Testing a DLC (Diamond-like carbon) coated end mill on 6061 aluminium alloy

[@iDiveDOTtv]

I like the video (tool looks awesome) but I love the disco rave soundtrack even more. Need that in my workshop :-)

I have a DLC Coated 3mm 3 Flute with 0.15mm Radius, but it's a long end mill.
And it screams for mercy at 200mm /min with 1mm Depth of Cut Full Radial.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Same problem here. I believe in my case the problem is the type of alluminum alloy, tends to stick to the tool very very easily. Very low T melting type of aluminum. Will have to try other alloys

[@Buciasda33]

@@tabsquare I think that "End Mill" might have been for Drilling.
I think I used 5083 Aluminum, but I was spraying a water mist and adjusting the water depending on the feed rate.
You can go 400mm / min full radial with a depth of 1mm.
I mostly use a 3mm, 4mm and 6mm End Mill with 3 Flutes.
