Metal capable CNCs are getting as cheap as 3D printers. It look forward to designing my own lamination stacks.


You don’t need CNCs for that you need a decent laser, the laminates used are super thin and either laser cut or stamped you can’t reliably machine them anyhow workholding would be near impossible.


I would be concerned that laser cutting steel degrades the magnetic permeability around the cut. I plan to use a clamping jig designed for PCBs. I could always upgrade to a vacuum table.
