Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and hope to find answers to my question before making my final choice.

I intend to buy a D-Series machine (600 ou 840) for professional purpose. I am running a small workshop business and need to find a CNC machine to help me save time on simple yet time consuming tasks.

There will be 3 separate uses:

  • machining beech wood, basically cutting small tiles, engraving letters or logos
  • laser engraving on beech wood for branding
  • jig machining to create lathe or drill jigs
  • I understand I am not looking at professional machines, thus I think the D-Series are good enough to archive my goals.
    But I have concerns about the beech wood, know to be quite hard to machine. Likely less hard than aluminum but still hard enough to put the machine in trouble ? That is my main question.

    Thanks

    Great answers guys.

    I am not going to mill plywood but only plain beechwood blanks, strait from the tree (sort of).
    I will prepare my blanks to be flat and the right thickness before milling and engraving. I assume Bruno's job was not plywood, right ?

    Hello Minimalist
    I am not shure if stepcraft is right for Minimalists... Too many options lol

    This is Plywood:
