Edit order history, saw this item, clicked on it again and practically stole it for $15 , now they charge twice as much and it's worth it, it was the wrong tool for my job, I had to mill a lot of hard aluminum, I should have gotten 3/8 but I needed 1/4 for some small spots and I thought, I would use 1/4" all the time. I had no idea what I was doing or what RPM to use. I sawed into it, I'm used to working with wood and not an amateur but a professional woodwork and it was really amazing how hard it was to cut. I did it by hand. I think its plain math wood is much softer than metal. I bit the center pieces in the middle n my "jig" I spread out since the required cutting width was about .625/.75 and the width was .5 inch. I cut this thing on both passes of the stencil leaving the metal in the middle, so I just freehand drew it and it was a bit harsh a couple of times. I thought this thing was going to break, but it held up despite my knowledge of field processing. . Of course, I think the plunge cut worked much better than the blunt cut. Great part I will definitely be buying from Kodiak again this is probably a professional tool for a workshop if I could do with something a lot less quality I think this thing will cut steel I could probably even get a wood carbide End mills easily use aluminum for this. Original Review: Wow, the T-7076 aluminum plunge and mill is way more than I expected. The cutting speed was surprisingly slow for me, but I'm used to woodworking and I think that's the norm for a drill press and just human power pushing the router bit. I thought the little bit with the 1/4" shank was going to break since I had to use the 3/8. It took a little longer, but it did the job well and really survived some user errors like jumping around and getting caught when it could break and it's still sharp good tool.
