MATERIAL CAPABILITY

Cut What Your Projects Demand

From forgiving materials to demanding alloys, the SC-512L delivers controlled torque, rigidity, and precision across a wide range of metals and plastics, without outgrowing your workspace.

Soft Materials

Soft Materials

Smooth finishes. Clean cuts. Total control.

Whether you're machining wood, plastics, aluminum, or brass, the SC-512L provides stable spindle control and rigid axis movement for clean surface finishes and consistent dimensions. Ideal for prototypes, custom parts, fixtures, and production components where detail matters.

  • Wood & engineered composites
  • Plastics (Delrin, Nylon, Acrylic)
  • Aluminum alloys
  • Brass & non-ferrous metals
  • Excellent surface finish control
Hard Materials

Hard Materials

Built for real cutting loads.

The SC-512L is engineered to handle tougher materials with confidence. Precision linear rails, ball screws, and a rigid spindle platform allow you to machine steel, stainless, tool steel, and titanium while maintaining accuracy and repeatability.

  • Mild & alloy steels
  • Stainless steel
  • Tool steel
  • Titanium
  • Rigid cutting performance up to 3000 RPM
