I will like to know if I can use a SHopBot CNC Router to cut and make perforations to FIBER CEMENT BOARDS, our boards are similar as DUROCK maybe a little harder and do not have Fiberglass mesh...
We also have a lot of jobs that require working on the edges of our boards to make V CUTS OR 45 degree cuts, beveled the edges, etc....
Can someone give me a good idea about this, I am not an expert and we haven't use a CNC machine for this jobs before...

thanks a lot,

Regards,

Enrique

Not sure of the cutting details, but I think the concrete dust would be hard on brushes and motors.

Enrique...
Assuming that proper tooling and dust control would be included, and as long as your future machines table size matched or exceeded the material size that you wish to cut, I believe it could be done.
