I found this milling disk in a magazine used for aluminum it looks like it works great, but I got a quote from this company and they want $2189.00 us. Now my pockets are not that deep and my company and I do not do that much aluminum work. My question is does anyone out there think this is worth the price tag? aluminum welder thoughts?

Well if you were building aluminium boats I'd think it would pay for itself.
As your situation doesnt do much alloy, I'd say give it a miss.
Also you could bet your left testical that someone would use it on steel within the week in a mainly steel shop.
Did they mention whether it could be resharpened or what the expected life was?
Over 2 grand for a glorified alloy grinding disc? ( To quote a famous Australian movie)

It says a minimum of 300 hours per sharpen and can be sharpened up to 7 times.

I'd have to be in a profit making aluminum fab situation before I could justify that piece.

Wonder how many carbide router bits you could buy and use on a standard adjustable speed router for the cost of this disk? Agreed that unless you are a 1 person operation, someone is gonna trash that disk in no time.

I'd love to try one but it seems to be about 1000% overpriced compared to "normal" shaped tooling for CNC equipment.
