Thread: Milling Steel?
Threaded View

A mill having a fixed Z turret and moving X Y slides, and a router having a fixed table and moving gantry?
So if wanted to mill, say chocolate moulds, , as an example thats come up before,fairly deep/ high level of finish, in steel, would really need to be on heavy iron fixed turret mill to get there?
If wanted to cut square holes in 2.5mm mild steel , a moving gantry router would be feasible but probably not optimal?
Yes, strikes me that cutting holes in plate is more a plasma cutter or for quite a few dollars more laser optimal operation, just looking at ideas at moment.
Appreciate people taking the time to answer what are very basic questions.
Cheers
Adam
