Love this video, we played it looped during RMRRF 2023 (Rocky Mountain Rep Rap Festival) to help attendees grasp what's possible with LR3. Cheers Tony!
You might get less crunching with a lower RPM. Larger diameter bits have a faster moving cutting edge. Slower rpm gives the chip more time to get out of the way. I run mine on the slowest setting, or on click higher.
Might be something there with the larger endmill. With the kyocera i get the best evacuation on higher speeds, seemed to work well on the 1/8 amana also. Looks like most of the crunching happened where chips were still in the cut from the previous pass, so plain air would definitely be plenty. I agree with ipa, though. I've been down the cutting oil/wd40 route. Adds zero positive things to cutting for me.

That's pretty incredible!
Yeah that is cool. Great to see what i am building can do that!
Thanks for the video.

With that said the $10 mist systems with IPA is a game changer in Aluminum, and no mess to clean up after.
