In Reply to: Any machinists on site? Q. re. aluminum stock & router bits posted by AJ on August 19, 2007 at 18:20:54:
1/8 inch or less shouldn't be a problem. The hard part is feeding the material by hand in such a way to get a decent finish on the edge. You have to proceed with absolute conviction... If you hesitate and get a kickback, it can hurt you. Also, be aware that there will probably be hot aluminum chips flying at you. Wear a face shield and clothing that will protect your skin. You don't want any of these hot chips going down your shirt, trust me!
It can be done though. I used to cut aluminum sheet using a large plunge router and MDF forms... Not for the faint hearted!
Good luck :-)
