G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Milling alloy

Hello,
I have some difficulties to mill alloy because it seems that alloy is much more crushed or forged than cut.
I use a mill tool diameter=3.17mm; Speed 6000 RPM & F50; depth=0.8mm (0.5 for finish pass).
So, machine chips are not cut and after few time of milling stops the spindle (too much efforts - 700w spindle);
as the machine continue to move, the tool can break.
The machine has also a lot of vibrations and the tool makes a lot of noise.
I join a picture of the (bad) result.
Did you have experienced the same thing ?
May be i will be more inspired to try an other material; what is the kind of white material i can see sometimes - is it nylon ?
What do you use as synthetic material ?
Thank you for reading !
