Because the Nomad has a rigid frame and DC brushless spindle, it’s designed to accurately cut in materials up through the hardness of non-ferrous alloys such as brass and even aerospace grade aluminum. Some examples of materials that are appropriate include:

Hardwoods such as: Maple, Ash, Basswood, Birch, Cherry, Walnut, Poplar, and Oak

Softwoods such as Pine, Cedar, Balsa and Fir

Plastics such as ABS, Delrin (Acetal), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylic (PMMA), Nylon, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PET, and PVC, Polyethylene and Polyurethanes

Synthetics & composites such as Renshape and other Polyurethane resins with fillers, as well as foams

Metals such as copper, brass, and aluminum, to include 6061 and 7075 alloys for example.

Coolant

With the use of coolants, harder metals such as Titanium and Steel alloys and some stainless steel alloys have also been machined with the Nomad Pro.
