CNC Routing Aluminum
Loading...
Uploaded by deathstarchris on Mar 17, 2011
I'm just learning how to use this CNC router. I for some silly reason thought to use regular end mills to cut out aluminum, this was a bad mistake. Typical end mills spin between 600 and 900 rpm. The average router spins at speeds over 25,000 rpm. DO NOT USE END MILLS! Use single fluted CNC router specialty bits. Amana Tool have a special line for aluminum, plastics and hard plastics. Single fluted bits make a HUGE difference! With the right bit, I am able to cut out 1/8 inch aluminum in one pass with no cooling.

Typically routers spin between 20,000 and 30,000 rpm. Don't slow this down.
What you need are the right bits. Choose single fluted bits specifically designed to cut aluminum. You can find them from Amana Tool.
