T6215 is a latest CVD-coated grade, designed to ensure superior cutting performance during high speed, continuous cuts of stainless steel. Incorporating a thickness of 1.3 times as thick as existing grades and extremely hard outer layer, the CVD coating offers extraordinary resistance to wear during high speed machining.

If you are on a budget or want something that is easier to mill, you may wish to choose a softwood for your CNC project. There are many options, and some softwoods can be nearly as “hard” as hardwoods:

AH6235 is another PVD-coated grade that boasts exceptional fracture resistance. The grade provides outstanding reliability during interrupted cuts and heavy-duty turning applications with great depth of cut. Its thick thermally-stable coating provides superior cutting performance even when machining materials with poor machinability.

Hardwood comes from “harder,” more durable trees than softwood. It is an ideal choice if your CNC project involves forming intricate cuts and small details. These are long-lasting, high-quality materials. But they can also be hard on CNC machinery because they are harder to cut. Some examples of hardwood include:

AH6225 is a first-choice grade designed to provide excellent machining performance in general stainless steel turning operations, extending from continuous to light interrupted cuts. A thick titanium-rich PVD coating with high thermal stability, combined with a dedicated carbide substrate that ensures better resistance to both fracture and plastic deformation, provides long and predictable tool life.

You’ll encounter three main categories of wood for woodworking projects: hardwood, softwood, and engineered wood. You can discard engineered wood, like particle board, as an option for CNC projects because it is likely to disintegrate when machined. That said, here is what you need to know about the other two types of wood for CNC woodworking:

A variety of materials can be used for CNC routing. These include aluminum, carbon steel, brass, acrylic, and wood. While you can use wood to make your creation, you probably shouldn’t just pick any old piece of wood lying in the corner. Some are better suited to the job than others. Here is what you need to know about choosing the best type of wood for CNC projects.

If you have an idea in your head or even a design for a prototype you’d like to create, Components by Design Inc. wants to be your trusted partner. We offer a complete range of CNC routing services that can bring your idea to life and add value to it.
