Hi guys,

I am new to milling and CNC. Will be starting soon once all my parts arrived. Anyway, I know you need a band saw for cutting down large stock to manageable size to fit on a cnc. But is it possible to use the mill to cut a long piece of stock aluminium so you can get a smaller piece out of the stock piece? I know it can be done, but would this be a normal practice if a bandsaw isn't available?

Thanks.
