I did a job cutting 40 aluminum zipline trolley frames today with the Powermax45 on my cnc machine....I nested all of the parts on a 4 x 4 piece of .080" aluminum....pushed the start button and about 40 minutes later had parts for my customer. Cut quality was excellent.....probably the most amazing thing was that I started cutting the parts with consumables that already had over 400 pierces on them (mostly cutting 3/8" and 1/4" steel).....they still looked good.....and I proceeded to cut these aluminum parts adding another 540 pierces on the consumables.....still cutting great! Here are some pics......each part had a bunch of 1/4" diamter holes....very round, very nice tolerances!
