Assuming I can find 7075 blanks that work with your jig, with a very rigid drill press, how much harder is it to mill than 6 series aluminum? I'm more-or-less convinced that 6 series is plenty good enough but thought it's worth asking in case I head in the 7075 direction.
Thanks,,,ordering soon.

For the home builder with a jig, its not much. Probably wouldnt notice the difference. Even on the CNC, its minor adjustments of feeds and speeds if any.

c - david .....,, I was told the 6061 is easier to work with / and it's make-up is more resistent to corrosion...
which is what I am looking for under my baked-on finish.
