Re: Machining plastics with CNC

You may want to ty Azek, available in building supply houses. A 4x8 sheet costs about $120, and it routs easily, and can be glued with pvc cements. We have been using it on the robot for bearing/bushing blocks and wheels.

I'm suprised about the heat problems, especially with MDF. I think you need to address that problem, by either taking breaks, or perhaps using a different bit.

Are you using a stright-cut bit? I believe CNC routers recommend an upcut spiral to clear the material away.
