Hi Guys,

I have read a bunch of threads on here, but think most of them apply to proper machines, not ones like my little toy. This is the machine I have if you need more info.

Here is the spindle info...


  • Spindle motor: spindle motor with direct current(200w)
  • Cutting tool-holder: ER11/3.175mm
  • Spindle speed: 300~8000RPM/MIN (PWM stepless speed regulating)
  • Spindle precision :radial beat acuities 0.03 mm


Very basic as you can see, but for milling PCBs it works great.

I have the need to cut some 2mm Aluminium plate and as this is probably going to be a one off, don't want to invest in upgrading the machine.

Any suggestions on what type of cutters, DOC, speed etc would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Les
