Hello all, i'm fairly new to cnc machining, i have only cut mdf and foamex board so far. I need some advise on cutting aluminium composite. Its only 2mm thick, with acrylic inside and aluminium plate on either side. what is the best blade to use for this. at the moment i am using a 2.something mm carbide blade, which is meant to be able to engrave brass and ali. Would this do the job on a low speed cut?? with 2 passes or so??
Also how about 5mm acrylic, i know this blade will cut it but will it burn it, as at the moment i can't seem to slow the router down
as it is a built in jobby and i cant seem to control it so its all or nothing as far as the motor is concerned.
Thanks in advance.
Gaz.
P.S anybody know where to buy the ali and acrylic from? Amari is the cheapest place so far!
