I'm curious to see what setups you all have for milling a bevel on fins. I'll need to bevel some 6061 aluminum and 304 SS for an upcoming project. I know there are a million ways to skin this cat, but I want to know what works best for you. My first thought was to hold the fin in a milling vice with the beveled edge perpendicular to the spindle, then create the bevel with a tapered end mill. This is simple enough, but I'm worried about chatter due to the amount of stick out and thickness of the fin. I guess it all depends on the vice and how deep I can recess the fin into it.
What has worked for you?
