Settings for Aluminum - 0.010” depth Per pass

Hi Folks - first time in these forums but not new to Shapeoko3.

I was getting a lot of questions about settings for aluminum on Reddit so made this video. I’ve found the step over is not too critical if I keep it to 0.010” depth per pass and less than 10 ipm in the feed and plunge settings. Slow and steady. Hope this helps anyone starting with Aluminum.

I saw the JPL gentleman’s machining steel success - I’ll try that soon too!
