Just kidding of course... I wrote the program myself and tested it a few times before holding the disc with my hands. The rotating cutter is the least of your problems when something happens; the machine has more than enough power to crush my complete arm when it gets stuck so I never ever stick my arm in between two machine parts...
@bestamerica - I know and I wish I had all the tools I wanted (laser cutter and engraving machines are still on my list) but I only have this CNC machine. Also the discs are just the prototypes, production is done at a water jet machine. And yet - they also jet-cut the small holes which is a waste of time and energy and does not give a very good result (not my decision since I am not the person paying for them ...)
Yes, the ceramic coating is especially designed as a coating on aluminium for braking. The company who does this (Ceradure) specializes in aluminium discs with coating for motor bikes - if it is good enough for a motor bike, then it is definitely good enough for a bicycle.
what mill are you using ?? .. and meterial... ss?... pretty cook .. cant waiit to get a cnc mill .. I have a list that im making for biks lol.. didnt think of this b4 really though... thanks!

so what are you going to use an aluminum brake rotor for?? the ceramic coating will let it stand up to braking??

The machine is home-made (size: 77 x 40 x 14" table travel). Original build for milling foam and wood but it is rigid enough to mill aluminium.
The matarial is 2mm aluminium sheet, 6082-T651, T651 is stess relieved by streching making it perfect to mill large thin objects without bending.
