Tips for cutting 1050 aluminium

I think I love you guys.


Wow what a difference. The cut was perfect!


I messed up and set the cutter a little too low and so there was no onion skin so the part jumped out and nicked a little in the middle of the long edge. And I need to come up with a solution for not destroying the MDF board with lubrication.. but apart from that.. there was no welding sides.. just lovely chips.


I did 23k RPM & 370mm/min with full 1.4mm DOC.


PS. I just left the old metal on there as a practice with some more screws rather than taping up a new sheet, as I wanted a little practice before ruining another sheet of metal!
