Tips for Small CNC Machines When Handling Tough Materials

Machining certain materials such as stainless steel and titanium can be difficult and challenging when you only own a small CNC machine. They are tougher than the usual wood and plastic many small CNC machine work on. However, if you have the correct feeds and speeds, your little machine can work on almost any material you want.

Despite having a smaller machine, you can still use some the same tooling as that of a larger, stronger VMC. Doing some small adaptations, such as popping a premium endmill into your CNC machine can make all the difference.
