A few others already mentioned the Audio ?? Maybe, make a habit of watching the video before you post, just to make sure everything is how you want it. I'm guessing the Mill you have is at least a VF3 with 4 vices on the machine ? Hope to see more videos from you soon 👍
Just found your channel and enjoyed the machining content. The volume balance for the voiceover needs to be adjusted a bit if possible. I couldn't hear a pretty good chunk of your descriptions . Thanks
Nice setup. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you don't do much aluminum as your approach and tooling seems a little more geared for steels. I have a few tips for aluminum. At the start you should be able to go alot faster with your facemill. I typically run around 120IPM at 10K RPM granted the one i run is a 4 insert facemill with positive rake inserts but you should easily be able to double your face mill speeds and feeds but check the manufactures speeds and feeds first. When your machining aluminum you really don't need a separate roughing tool and id mostly skip insert tooling other than face mills. Solid carbide tools preform better and last practically forever in aluminum at least until you make a mistake and break them. Ill typically run a 2in long 1/2in diameter 3 flute at 10k RPM 300IPM .05IN stopover at 2.0In depth of cut using an adaptive/volumill/trochoidal/what ever your CAM calls it style tool path. Ill even go up to 400IPM if I'm using a machine capable of 15K RPM but when i do that its just about maxing the spindle out briefly peaking at around 150% spindle load. I hope this helps.

Dude, quit mumbling. Your voice is barely audible!
Your feeds and speeds seem incredibly slow for 6061. Especially that facemill
I was going to say the same on a HAAS I'm usually running a 2in face mill at 10k 120IPM .1In depth of cut .2In if I'm impatient.
I WOULD CRANCK UP MAX SPINDLE SPEED AND MAX FEED EITHER I FINISH THAT FAST AOR SEE IT FLYING THROUGH THE GLASS PROTECTION XD
