Did some quick runs with a 3 flute endmill, to try and establish a baseline / limit of the tool. As a whole, The tool did a great job. The stepper motors arent pushed at all ( very luke warm to the touch after all of this ). Only real hiccup was metal chips causing the Z-Limit switch to false trigger and shutdown the machine completely. Other than that, I feel this is a very rigid machine and aluminum cutting is very easy with this machine. Just make sure the table you plant it on, is very rigid as well. Clearly, mine is not. Certain fast motions can make my table move 1-2 inches left to right. This machine weighs over 100 pounds fully assembled.
The 1.5KW spindle feels like a good amount. Although I did have a tool get stuck due to aluminum fusing to the flute, the spindle did "skip" and loose its rotation sequence. This isnt a BAD thing, as it saved the tool VS just brute forcing it. It doesnt mean the spindle doesnt have enough current. High speeds/frequencies if I'm not mistaken, can potentially provide less torque, so despite it was telling the motor to spin, it lost all that inertia and just couldn't move.
Either way, I'm happy with the results and I feel more confident with how I'll use these cutters.
