Use a minimum of copper or stainless steel for clips. Use thicker material for exposed positions. But why do so many clips fail in high wind conditions? Mainly because the fixing position is not suited to the exposure. Although the spacing of clips is important and the material used should relate to the exposure it is likely to receive, the main consideration must always be the ...

The taper will prevent you from being able to mill a vertical face but it will not be a problem on a relief, for example. Can you plunge with a ball nose end mill? You can, but I would try and avoid it. If you have to plunge it is a good idea to ramp down. This means moving along the X and/or Y axis while plunging at a shallow angle, less than 3 degrees. If I was able to answer your ...
