Durstone is relatively easy to machine. use a 4 fluted end mill and keep the speed down on the mill. sounds like your RPMs are to high.

You'll find a lot of guides for cutting aluminium on the internet but basically, try and use a bigger end mill if you can, keep it at the right speed (not slower). We cut 1.6mm aluminium with a 3mm end mill. Smaller end mills didn't evacuate the chip

Dear SMTnetters, I've been told to have a look at finding a machine that could mill the leads of all PTH components to a certain height on an assembeled and soldered PCB. PCBs should be inserted in one side of the machine and come out milled on the
