    Endmill to cut aluminum with high speed router?

    I know I've seen it somewhere, but after 10 minutes of looking I admit defeat. I read on one thread or another that there are special router bits / endmills for use on high speed (wood) routers that will cut aluminum. I want to do some simple milling using my Bosch Colt and thought I'd give it these bits a try, if I could only find them!

    Thanks much -- Paul
