    milling soft type of stone on mdx40a ??

    is this possible??? i began using this machine at my job(its an embelishment factory) and my customers are constantly asking about new cool materials i could make sample with.

    aside from wood, plastic and metal, do you guys mill anything else?

    id love a glass or glass like material as well as a stone option.

    this isnt a very powerful mill so im assuming only a soft stone like soapstone would be possible but im not sure.

    id love to hear about this possibility to mill any interesting materials thanks!

    You should be able to mill soapstone, if you take it easy. Not glass, though - that takes a dedicated machine with a water flush. Holding onto the soapstone will be a challenge; tape will have a hard time sticking to it.
