That is absolutely insane! Not only because it’s cutting aluminum but because it’s cutting aluminum SO FAST like it’s cutting through butter!

[@SienciLabs]

Bingo! It really is a beast!

[@Justins_shed]

Those finish and chamfer passes are especially nice to watch.

[@SienciLabs]

We couldn't agree more!

Hey, I thought I heard somewhere that this specific part from this video was milled with a 220v 2.2KW spindle, can you confirm that for me? I'm wondering if the 1.5KW spindle from the altmill kit would be able to cut with this performance. I have 220V 50A outlet that I ran for a future CNC so I'm not limited by 110V, so not sure if I should order the Altmill without the spindle and than source the spindle myself. A 2.2KW 220V Watercooled or Aircooled including the VFD is about CAD $500 w/ shipping from AliExpress and I also wonder if those are good quality.

Need a liquid tray and dispenser attached to the spindle that for the shavings. Metal shavings can do a lot of damage

[@jonathanilagan4239]

Any recommendations on enclosing an Altmill? The material removal rate is insane but cleaning those chips out of the nooks and crannies in my garage would get old really quick!

[@chubbyboy2242]

Newb question, how do you make sure the piece is in the exact right position when you flip it over for the second side?

[@SienciLabs]

Typically there are index holes that allow for precise alignment once flipped!

[@LavinWoodworks]

Do you have them name of that facing mill?

[@SienciLabs]

It’s a BAP300R endmill, 25mm diameter, with PCD inserts

[@philipchristian9935]

Very nice! What have you guys been doing to that poor mounting bracket?

[@SienciLabs]

It's a long story 🤫😬🤣

[@kenbouchard834]

What spindle are you running here?

[@SienciLabs]

It's a 1.5kW.
