Aluminum is great, until you want to machine it. Then it's a gummy piece of shit.
As far as machining goes, AL is easy mode compared to high carbon steels, tool steels, and inconels.
Inconel is an annoying cunt. Eats cutters and work hardens like a motherfucker.
Not if you know how to machine
Use the right feeds, speeds and tools. Also there’s different types of aluminum alloys with different levels of machinability. If what you say were true there wouldn’t be so many machined aluminum parts in just about every project I’ve ever worked on
No machine! ONLY MELT!
