Hello everyone this is my first post. I am looking to purchase a 5-axis CNC router for company use. This CNC will be used on aluminum castings of aircraft control wheels, and we would like to use it to engrave and machine surfaces on these parts. Any reccomendations of particular machines to look into, or any advice in general, would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Welcome to the CNC Zone.

Machine and table size is a major specification to consider.

How large are the parts?
How many do you wish to run on a fixture setup?

These parts are approximately 12" x 7" x 3". I am looking for a small format machine, but cost-permitting, I would consider a larger machine to fixture multiple parts at a time to eliminate loading and unloading time that would occur when running just one part at a time. Thanks for your time.
