The theory is a two-flute mill is better for cutting steel. Four-flute mills are for aluminum. Attempts to use a two flute coarse mill have been disappointing, even at .001 depth (edge milling) and .1 IPM. After replacing the very hard to replace drive belt, I switched to a four-flute finish mill and it is successfully edge milling .001" at 5 IPM.
