Cnc router aluminum sheet work is different than cnc routers cutting aluminum plate there s a world of difference for a cnc router cutting thin aluminum sheet vs a cnc router cutting thicker aluminum plate.
Cnc machine aluminum sheet.
Cnc machining in aluminum high machinability and ductility good strength to weight ratio.
You can see some standard metal clamps like you d see in a machine shop as well as a home made mdf one which has longer reach and dampens vibration.
The machine weighs 72kg which is the best thing to keep your machine steady while milling your aluminum sheet.
The x y z axis traveling range is 400x600x100mm.
Below is a picture of me cutting some 3 8 plate on a machine with a thick aluminum plate for a table.
Aluminum alloys have good strength to weight ratio high thermal and electrical conductivity low density and natural corrosion resistance.
The thicker the material and the greater the depth of cut the more important it is to follow these tips.
The working area is 840 480 20mm which is a large space to work on.
It s a kit containing mostly aluminum components with a sprinkle of plastic ones in the mix.
This table has tapped holes every few inches so strap clamps can be used.
