Fluting

I also assumed it was a joke but boy after I discovered the internet I'm never 100 percent sure anymore. The things you see. Lol

Works great on aluminum, even 7075 T6!* Does require a carbide router bit, and it doesn't destroy it although I'd be disinclined to use said bit on wood afterwards.

*If you've worked with that alloy you know how close it's desired speeds/feeds/depths of cut are to mild steel's.

I can run 7075 much faster than 1018/1020 (on a vertical mill). Try running that router on 416R HT and see what happens! Carbide tool, or not!

When I ordered a Bartlein barrel, they recommended I go one contour heavier because of the fluting...

Pass. I don't have good enough PPE, but you get my point.
