• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

4027 Aluminum

So I picked up a piece of 4027 cheap.
Now I'm wondering:
1. Can use it for a desktop CNC bed?
2. I understand it's harder, so what endmills are best?

Thanks
 
FYI . . .
In the aerospace industry, components must be made using materials that are regulated according to stringent standards. To meet these goals, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established aerospace material specifications, commonly referred to as AMS.

It looks like another specification organization cashing in on an accepted industry standard.
