Shop time using my CNC router can be an adventure trying out different materials and techniques. One of my favorite materials to work with is aluminum - it’s light, strong, formable, and easy to machine using a CNC router. It is also formable and can take on many different looks.

Every once in a while when researching a technique for a project, you happen upon EXACTLY what you needed … and even a little bit more. Thanks for this 😊

Hi Chris. Loved your video and all the useful information you share. I've been a woodworker/guitar maker for forty-five plus years and owned a CNC for about fifteen. However, I have never really come to terms with routing aluminum. I have made a few attempts and the result was ok, but not great. I did make a couple of vacuum pods that worked really fine, but I switched to making them out of high pressure laminate instead simply because it is easier to machine. With the information you've provided I am now willing to give aluminum a second chance. The hide glue/MDF trick is a neat one; I've used it in the past with abalone and mother of pearl for making inlays. It works a charm. Thank you for a really good video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Sweden. / Peter Bengtsson, master luthier

Annealing the alu before bending might be an idea as bending it without is likely to significantly reduce the strength of the metal.... It's easy enough to do, rub some soap on one side and heat the other side until the soap turns black, the alu is now annealed and about as soft and stress free as you can make it...

Because hanging a towel on that hook might exceed 60661T6 tensile strength, right? If you anneal 6061 you've turned into crappy mush. Yes, it will bend easier. It will also fail at about one third the load.

Excellent video. I am wanting to create aluminum stamping dies for heat transfer film. Sounds like 7075 aluminum would be best for this.

It is interesting how the qualities of the alloys differ. Cost and availability has steered some of my choices as much as anything.

That’s exactly what I’m planning on doing! I’d appreciate any advice you could give me on this process. And how would you create a sharp interior angle with a round bit?

I am very curious about power of the motor on the cnc machine used in this project. I have yet to purchase a cnc as aluminum and 1/16th steel are the the primary materials I plan to work with.

You did not mention RPM for the single flute bit??????
@WoodsmithShowandmagazine
@WoodsmithShowandmagazine Год назад
And I should have.....usually I run the 1/8" single flute bits at 18500 RPM and 3/16" or 1/4" bits at 1750RPm when working aluminum.
@markbachman8321
@markbachman8321 Год назад
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine That is a broad range, 1750 to 18500? Which one is a typo? Thanks for the reply.
@kuek_kuek54
@kuek_kuek54 Месяц назад
@@markbachman8321 That would almost definitely be a typo. Having RPM that low would immediately break the bit. I use around 18000 RPM with around 6 passes, and it seems to be fine.

@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine many will tell you it's very difficult to mill, it isn't, single flute bits are the solution, even better DLC coated or better and leave off the coolant/mist.

It's amazing that most of these machines are used to make nothing but silly, useless junk. Like how 3D printers seem to make nothing but fake turds and tiny Yoda figurines. It's still useful information, don't get me wrong.

Making a good video and skimping on the metric conversion for literally the rest of the world - a shame. But thanks anyway.

Imagine watching someone sharing their knowledge and time with you, at no cost to you, and complaining that they didn't do enough work. You could have Googled the conversion in the time it took you to write your comment.
