We report the magnetic trapping and evaporative cooling of bosonic and fermionic isotopes of atomic chromium. Using a cryogenic helium buffer gas, 10¹² chromium atoms are trapped at an initial temperature of {~}1 K. The chromium atoms are then cooled adiabatically and evaporatively to temperatures as low as {~}10 mK. Elastic and inelastic ⁵²Cr collisional cross sections are measured over this temperature range. Prospects for simultaneously creating a ⁵²Cr Bose-Einstein condensate and ⁵³Cr Fermi degenerate gas will be discussed.
