    Wall thickness using Aluminium

    Hi all

    I haven't CNC'd in metal before, and could do with some advice.

    I've attached a sketch - how thin could I make these walls if using aluminium? The design as it stands has 6mm walls. Could that be brought down to something like 3mm, and still be rigid enough to withstand CNCing?

    Thanks!
