Facing Aluminum on Avid CNC Router – REVISITED!

Robert Cowan

November 23, 2023



In this video I revisit my previous look at facing on the Avid Pro CNC Router. I take your suggestions, tweak the settings, and show you the results!

I needed a solution for facing aluminum on my Avid CNC router. Traditional end mills are too slow, fly cutters can’t spin that fast, and spoilboard cutters aren’t made for aluminum. I reached out to Datron and they sent me their 0068444, which is a 2 flute 20mm facing end mill. The results were very good.

CNC Machining Laminated Shims – DATRON Milling Machine

Visit https://www.datron.com for more info. Custom shims or specialty shims are often required by manufacturers in runs from tens to thousands. They come in all shapes and sizes and are made from a wide range of materials. The one characteristic that is common among most of them is that they are flat and made from sheet material. DATRON high-speed milling machines equipped with integrated vacuum tables provide a high level of quality and efficiency to the production of custom shims. The vacuum table allows the operator to quickly secure sheet material from plastic foils as thin as 0.001” up to 0.250” aluminum sheets. This vacuum table features airflow-optimized ports, with recessed chambers, to provide superior vacuum distribution. A low-cost, gas-permeable substrate serves as a sacrificial vacuum diffuser, allowing the cutter to machine through the workpiece, without cutting into the table.

Visit https://www.datron.com for more info. The goal of producing this high-end electronics housing was to demonstrate the high level of milling quality that can be achieved within a short cycle time. DATRON parameters and tools were used for the milling process. The milling strategy included the use of the entire cutting length of tool no. 2, 26 mm long with Z infeed. Subsequently, a pocket with a 1 mm transverse feed is worked on dynamically. This approach ensures faster machining time and less tool wear than with a conventional milling strategy.

Holding Parts on a CNC Milling Machine without Gaskets, Tape, or Glue

December 5, 2022



When batch machining or milling thin flat material, vacuum is a great way to hold your parts. Unfortunately, milling completely through a workpiece on a typical vacuum chuck can result in the loss of suction or much worse. What if you could eliminate the need for gaskets AND not have to worry about damaging your table?
