The test I did used a 1/8" 2-flute end mill with 0.5mm depth/pass.
I kept the piece wetted with light oil.
My next test will be cutting brass.

Bob has machined some aluminum on the CNC and it turned out very nice. Like
Alex said, speeds and feeds. Really slow feed rate and very shallow passes.

I have not tried it yet. But with the right speeds and feeds it should be
able to handle aluminum.
What are you trying to make?

Can the cnc handle aluminum?
