CNC Machining Question: Tool Selection for Precision Parts

[febane]

Hi everyone,

I have a CNC machining question regarding tool selection for high-precision parts.

I’m working on a project that requires tight tolerances (±0.001 inches) and fine surface finishes.

What factors should I consider when choosing the right tools?

I’m mainly using aluminum and stainless steel for this project, and I’m looking for recommendations on cutting tools that provide optimal results in terms of durability, cutting speed, and surface finish quality.

Any advice on tool coatings or material-specific considerations would also be greatly appreciated.
