Hi All
I am looking for a bit of advice on a cnc mill I plan to build. I will be getting the XYand Z beds made from either aluminum 6082 or From steel. I then plan on embedding them into epoxy granite.
Would there be any benefit with going with steel over aluminum the steel is a lot more expensive than aluminum. The X and Y travel will be 200X150 mm. Will be cutting aluminum and brass and sometimes steel. For steel I will only be cutting small parts.
The mill will be used for making some parts for watches. I have attached one of the Axis beds that will be embedded into the epoxy resin. Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks
