Engraving Aluminum with a Wood Router CNC
I have a 48x48 router with a high speed spindle (24,000 rpm) and I know people have engraved with machines like this in aluminum so I know it can be done. Using VCarve Pro 9.5 and Mach4.
But mine is R&P x-y and ball screw on the z. I am considering using mine to do dog tags and the like.
I have done some really fine detail using a 1/8 ball nose mill, just wondering how much luck others are having? Suggestions welcome.
Happy Holidays to you where ever your located!!
