This documents my first go at machining aluminum on the Shapeoko 3 xxl with a PWNCNC 1.5kw water-cooled spindle. It's not meant to be a how-to as there is plenty of room for improvement in both heat mitigation and workpiece holding.
Chatter and vibration, heat buildup, and incorrect toolpath settings were some issues I ran into. However, at the end of the day, it turned out decent so I'll consider it a moderate success.
