Warning: Make sure the router bit is properly fastened and tightened in the router’s collet and the bit can rotate freely without any obstructions.
Instructions: Slowly dial up the RPMs on your router to the recommended maximum. Then, dial back if needed to find the “sweet spot”. The sweet spot is the speed at which the least resonant vibration is present. If the sweet spot cannot be achieved within 5,000 RPMs of the max, check the collet for residue or other debris and start over.

This flute router bit is specifically designed for milling aluminum. O flute end mills allow for lots of chip clearance which is essential when milling aluminum. Aluminum creates larger chips than most other materials and bits such as O-flute end mills are recommended for proper chip removal.
