What Metals can I cut with a CNC Router?
The following metals are commonly cut with a CNC Router:
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Copper
- Bronze
The most important thing to be aware of is that all of those metals come in different alloys, and some of those alloys machine much better than others.
There's a second batch of metals that are much more difficult to machine, and we don't recommend them for CNC Routers:
- Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Titanium
While these can be cut with Shapeoko (and we've seen people do it), a CNC router is not rigid enough to cut these metals efficiently.
