How Far Can We Push ToolDance X1? A High-Load Cutting Test πŸ”₯ We put ToolDance X1 to work on 6061 aluminum, progressively increasing the axial depth of cut from 5 mm to 30 mm and reaching a material removal rate (MRR) of up to 54 cmΒ³/min under the test conditions. What’s behind the result? 🦾 Rigid Structure: Built to support demanding cutting conditions. ⚑ 1,500 W PMSM Spindle: Delivers the power for high material removal rates. This demonstration uses dry cutting and cutting parameters selected specifically for this test. For everyday machining, start with ToolDance Studio’s recommended cutting presets for your material and tooling. πŸš€ Explore ToolDance X1 with Super Early Bird pricing from USD 2,999, up to 50% off. πŸ”—kickstarter.com/projects/147… #ToolDance #ToolDanceX1 #YourPersonalFactory #DesktopCNC #CNC #Machining #AluminumCutting #CNCMachine #MakerCommunity
