Hi,
Does anyone have experience routing Cold Rolled Carbon Steel Sheet?

I have a Shapeoko 5 Pro with a VFD. What I would like to do is route out a profile in .024" [0.61mm] thick Cold Rolled Carbon Steel Sheet to make a flat pattern for forming.

I have routed aluminum but not any steel.
Does anyone, if you have done this, could post your tool/CNC specifications; e.g. Feed speeds, Depth of Cut, Tool RPM … etc. and any tool bits you used.

Your help would be much appreciated.
Cheers … KAP

Those measurements don’t jibe, first off. Secondly, a plasma table would be a more appropriate tool for steel. If aluminum would work, use it on hour 5 pro

I corrected the millimeter dimension.
Anyone have any experience with cutting steel on the Pro-5?

Thanks … KAP
