I bought our machine at BZT 10 years ago (PF 1410) the machine is still in use and has survived a water damage even thanks to immediate spraying with an entire bottle of ballistol.

We mainly mill wood and wood Plastic, have also already milled carbon fiber panels, aluminum only rarely.

Milling aluminum is a science. You can definitely not mill any aluminum. It must be a millable alloy beforehand. Know the alloy you need to be very accurate with feed, feed and speed (cutting speed). Alu tends extremely to lubricate and adjusts the cutting edges of the cutters. It is therefore absolutely safe in the first attempts.

Recreate that a CNC milling machine is not a machine you just use like that. We used about a month to keep the first usable part in our hands.
