ALUCORE® can be easily routed on conventional routing machines and CNC machining centres. To avoid pressure marks on the surface, please use plastic or wood vice jaws when working on ALUCORE®. High-speed steel or carbide tipped cutters suitable for aluminium and ALUCORE® have a wide tooth pitch, radiused and smooth grooves and small lip angles. They produce perfect cuts under the following conditions:
- High-speed steel (HSS) max. cutting speed 3,000 m/min max. feed 25 m/min
- Carbide tipped (CT) cutter max. cutting speed 5,000 m/min max. feed 30 m/min
