This is a dumb question, but what are the relative advantages of
4-Flute vs. 2-Flute end mills, and on what applications should one type

2-flute for slots, 4 flute for when you want higher feed rates (keeping
the advance/tooth constant, the only way you can up your feed is by
adding teeth).

I don't buy the steel/aluminum answer, sorry.
