M.500 and milling aluminium for prototyping. was created by N0EL
Hi all.
I'm totally new to CNC'ing, and till now I've been getting all the CNC prototyping work done in China.
They are "what I think" small jobs (ie: 212.00×15.00×146.21 mm and 7075 aluminium).
Do you guys think that the M series is capable for a job like this?
Please note that it is for prototyping, and that I will not be CNC'ing many of them.
Also the time for CNC'ing it does not matter,
Noel

I bought the M700 specifically for aluminium (M500 has the same mechanics).
Remember to get a coolant system (fog buster)
And good tools (Datron, sorotec, HC Maschinentechnik)

Thank you for the info.
So with this "coolant system" system you will also need a "milling bath" or something like that to stop the leaking of cooling fluid?
