Are you sure this is magnesium? if yes, you should be very careful as mg can react heavily when it comes in contact with water.

@jetpower06 Yep, it is mag. I have a special coolant that works well with magnesium (Blaser BC37mg). I know the hazards of machining this and I did extensive research before equipping my shop to do so. Class D fire extinguisher is close at hand :-)

good to hear :o) I have also a Blaser but the normal one BC25md. I have the "mms" minimum quantity lubrication option on the machine so I can cool with oil based coolants or alcohol. What's your surface speed of the endmill? Nice work though :)
