Hello Russell, Yes that was me cutting 1/8" Aluminum Plate (purchased through Inventables) the X-Carve did amazing with it. On my first attempt I screwed to and did not measure the thickness correctly and it cut past my tabs freeing the piece which caused a jam and lost a bit. But the second time it carved all 5 remaining plates in 2 hrs, I was running at 30" pm, .004 depth per pass. Had the 611 set at speed 6 with a 1/8 upcut but from Amazon.
I would not hesitate to cut Aluminum again the the future at all, very confident in how the new X-Carve cut it like butter. And again the SuckIT did exactly that kept the work spotless. I was barefoot in the garage and had zero concern of Aluminum chips on the floor.
Glad you ordered one… you are going to love it!
