Hi, is the Robide Carbide3D Shapeoko 3 CNC Kit capable of working with: brass, copper and steel under certain conditions? (go very slowly, diamond cutter). Has anyone ever tried steel work?
Thank you

Hello @Flo87000
It is indeed possible to cut steel with a Shapeoko, but you will need a special setup which includes a way to cool the bit/surface as things will get hot.
If you want a full list of materials that got cut with the Shapeoko3, you can browse this list: https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/Materials#Shapeoko_3
