Depends on the material being cut, Aluminum can be cut for practically forever with the same carbide endmill... Stainless or other high nickel alloys... not so much. The reason the wheels might be expensive is the fact that you need a 5 axis CNC mill to do turbo wheels. And the number of hands the part goes through by the time it gets to the end user. Machining aluminium with the right tooling is like cutting butter with a steak knife.
