Hi RodM,
Very impressive video!!!
Looks like your RPM router does a very nice job milling thick aluminum.
I’ve been very tentative about using my Bridge Mill for aluminum plate, but it would be much easier to machine wide objects than using my Bridgeport. Particularly when I am machining nested Gantry Endplates (2- 3 up).
The 24” horizontal clearance under the Bridge would require only one set-up.
I’ve been upgrading this 10 yr old Mill with new Motors/Drives & Mach 3, and when the retrofit is complete,
I intend following your example and will try machining aluminum plate.
Thanks for another good idea !!
I’m presently working on a six axis console based on a design I “inherited” from you.
