I was wanting to make 4.75" diameter holes in a sheet of 1/16" aluminum. I was thinking I could use my 1/4" solid carbide up-cut (single flute) bit with my router and circle jig.
I think I remember seeing that carbide bits can be used in (at least) non-ferrous metals like aluminum. The mfg of the bit recommends 18,000 RPM for MDF, but I imagine I should reduce that a good bit for use in aluminum, right? I was thinking 10K-12K RPM
Anyone have any experience to offer?
