Update: I used to think a 0.005 inch finish pass was always a waste of time

Heard a guy at the break table say he gets way less chatter on his aluminum parts by taking that extra light cut, and after trying it on a job last week, he was totally right. Anyone have a favorite chip load for those final passes on 6061?

Depends on the part for me. I skip the finish pass if I can get a good surface straight off the rougher.

Try a 0.002 chip load on that last pass.
