Hi everyone,
I am new to the CNC world, I have a few manual machines. I am designing my first CNC machine, which will be the vertical milling type. One thing I am struggling with is the spindle. Is a router motor suitable for use when the machine is intended for use with metals such as brass, steel, stainless steel, titanium, etc? I am into making watch parts, so it won't be big, I was thinking in the region of 200mm travels for this machine.
Many thanks,
