Frequently Asked Questions

Is CNC for metals hard to learn?

Not at all β€” most beginners can start producing usable metal parts within days. Modern CNC software, preset cutting profiles, and guided toolpath generators make CNC metal machining far more approachable than traditional manual milling.

What metals can a CNC machine cut?

CNC machines can cut aluminum, brass, copper, mild steel, stainless steel, and many alloys when using proper tooling, spindle speeds, and coolant.

What is the difference between a CNC router for metal and a CNC milling machine for metal?

A CNC milling machine for metal offers higher rigidity, stronger spindles, and precision ball screws for deeper cuts and tighter tolerances, while routers are better suited for lighter metal cutting and engraving.

Can desktop CNC machines cut metal?

Yes β€” desktop CNC machines for metal are excellent for prototyping, education, small-batch production, and engraving, offering high accuracy in compact footprints.

What thickness of metal can a CNC cut?

Most small CNC machines for metal can cut ¼″–1β€³ thick metal, while industrial machines can exceed that depending on tooling, spindle power, and machining strategy.

What tools are used for CNC metal cutting?

Metal machining uses solid carbide end mills, coated drills, engraving bits, and coolant systems to ensure clean finishes and long tool life.

Is coolant required when cutting metal?

Yes β€” coolant improves surface finish, tool longevity, and dimensional accuracy by reducing heat and friction during cutting.

What is CNC metal fabrication used for?

CNC metal fabrication is used to produce machine parts, brackets, enclosures, fixtures, jigs, and structural components with consistent precision and repeatability.
