How thick of metal can a CNC machine cut?
The thickness of metal a CNC machine can cut depends on the machine type, tools, and material being processed. Generally:
- Standard CNC routers: Can cut metal up to 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) thick, especially softer metals like aluminum.
- CNC milling machines: Can cut metal up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick, depending on the machine’s power and tooling.
- CNC plasma cutters: These can cut metal up to 1 inch (25 mm) for faster operations, but thicker metals require slower cutting speeds.
- CNC laser cutters: Can cut metal up to 1 inch (25 mm) for mild steel, though some high-power lasers can cut thicker metals (up to 2 inches or more) with precision.
For thicker materials, CNC machines typically require multiple passes, slower feed rates, and robust cutting tools to ensure accurate and clean cuts.
