Can a workbee CNC can cut 1mm galvanized steel sheet?

[abhimanyuz77]

Hi am a newbie to routing and I am about to receive my first cnc router next week. I wanted to cut aluminum sheets on this and it would be a lot helpful if the Workbee can cut Galvanized steel sheets. My router comes with a Makita RT0700C Router. So I need to cut some designs and can someone tell me whether it will damage my machine in anyway if I cut steel.? And any special router bits or any equipment I can use so I don't damage my machine so fast?

Hi Abhi - Unfortunately the workbee with a mikita won't cut steel. But you can try and show us the results. Peter

Hi Abhi - If you want to machine aluminium and steel you need a mill not a router. Peter
