Shapeoko 5 Pro - How is it with Aluminum vs HDM?

Luke, trust me lots of big aluminum parts. I am happy to share some proven recipes and part files and even ship you some of the same bits to see if this will work. We need a 2nd machine (if not two) to allow us to continue pushing out products and prototype.

We cut a lot of parts out of 24”x8”x3/8” stock now. If I can go to 48” my production doubles!

FYI: some cnc guys say “but a real machine” but until I get to $60k plus the X&Y areas are too small for us on many parts.
