What this machine will and will not work
| Wood Production | Both heads are at their best here, and the pairing is the reason to buy this variant. The spindle does the design cut - 6 mm two-flute, 4 mm deep, 12 000 rpm, 1 800 mm/min, 43 200 mm3/min - for profiling, pocketing and 3D work. The laser then engraves the faces at 3 000 mm/min and 0.10 mm line pitch without a cutter mark, and cuts 3 mm ply in one pass at 320 mm/min for thin inlay and jointing detail. Milling a pocket and rastering a photograph into its floor in one setup, with a forty-second head change between them, is work neither head does alone. |
|---|---|
| Plastic Production | Production by spindle. HDPE, nylon, Delrin and ABS mill cleanly with a single-flute O cutter at 12 000 rpm and a high chip load, exactly as on the spindle variant. The laser is the secondary tool here and is limited to engraving and thin dark sheet, because light-coloured plastics scatter 450 nm. **PVC and PTFE are forbidden to both heads** - milling PVC releases hydrogen chloride and lasering it releases more of it, and PTFE gives off hazardous fume when hot by either route. An unlabelled sheet is treated as forbidden. |
| Acrylic Capable | Capable by spindle, as on the platform: cast acrylic cuts and engraves with a single-flute O at 12 000 rpm, 1 200 mm/min and 2 mm per pass, with the machine's 2 500 mm/min feed ceiling the reason this is not rated production. The laser adds dark cast acrylic cutting - 3 mm in one pass at 220 mm/min - and a matte engraved finish. **The laser cannot cut clear or translucent acrylic at all**, because 450 nm passes straight through it; that job stays with the spindle on this variant, which is one of the practical arguments for owning both heads. |
| Aluminium Light duty | Light passes by spindle, within the same limits as the platform, and classed light rather than capable for the same reason: 6061 or 6082, single-flute 3.175 mm carbide, 0.3 mm depth of cut, 0.4 mm stepover, 400 mm/min at 12 000 rpm with air blast, giving about 50 mm3/min. That makes a bracket in an evening, not a batch, and the limit is rigidity rather than power - and this variant has slightly less of it than the S, at 431 N/mm against 435. The laser adds marking on anodised and painted surfaces at 1 500 mm/min in two passes by ablating the coating. **The laser does nothing to bare aluminium**, which reflects most of 450 nm and is a specular hazard while it does so. |
| Steel Not supported | Not supported by either head, and neither combination changes that. The spindle side is a 60 N machine at 426 N/mm attempting a cut that needs roughly thirty times the force, at speeds below this spindle's 3 000 rpm floor. The laser side is a 450 nm diode that steel largely reflects, at an energy density far below what melts and blows a kerf. Steel milling in this range begins on the enclosed C-frame and boxed-column platforms built around a 1 000 N budget; steel marking belongs to the fibre-source variant of the enclosed platform; steel cutting belongs to the plasma variants of the large-format platforms. |
| Mild steel Not supported | Mild steel is not supported by either head. The spindle cannot take the force and has no coolant path - this machine has an aluminium frame, a wooden bed and open wheel bearings and must never get wet - and mild steel is gummy enough that dry milling welds chips to the flute within seconds. The laser cannot cut or mark bare mild steel, and mill scale scatters the beam rather than helping it. Painted mild steel can have its paint ablated, which is coating removal and is not published as a mild-steel capability. |
