Absolutely Don't try cutting aluminium with this machine has you'll kill the spindle within hours not days.!! . . . . The spindle is the weak link on this machine by far.!
The rest is So so Ok for light duty engraving etc but if pushed remotely hard it's life will shorten quite quickly.! . . . . . Good starter machine to get you going but must be run well within it's limits to avoid dissapointment and premature failure.!
Edit: Very light engraving on aluminium will be ok but would only do this for short periods and keep the cut depth low.!Last edited by JAZZCNC; 08-01-2014 at 11:42 PM.
