I think that copper is much more difficult to be machined than brass. The CNC mill you are talking about is, AFAIK, a modeling machine...I even think that the spindle motor is supposed to be replaced every 700 hours of use, right? So maybe you should think twice before using that machine for copper milling…

Is there a provision for cooling on that machine?
