CNC business. Making money

Andy. This is exactly the sort of thing I’m after, but I’ll have to come back to you at a later date for your particular requirements. Reason being is at present I machine only wood. My machine is capable of machining aluminium.... would be fairly thin though, a few mm. Not hardcore milling

Let me get my metal groove on and I’ll contact you to see if I can be of any use.

Either way, PM sent. Your project sounds amazing.

If this is one of Deans machines I am sure it will cut ali just fine

Mark, your machine is capable of much more than a few mm in Ali but you will need to use different tool paths like adaptive/ trochoidal to get the best from it.
Also, the bed isn't really suited to cutting Ali because you'll need some kind of lubricant to cut Ali properly which doesn't mix well with an MDF spoil board.

But these things are easily got around or changed if find you are doing more Ali work than wood.

All I'll say is Ali and wood don't mix well together on a machine and cutting Ali is very messy.
