Just found this great site and am a new poster here. I am wanting to know if styrene can be selected for milling. The shapes would basically cylinders and saucer shapes (latheing) sp?. Is this a media that is available for this type of work? Finish would not need to be a finely polished surface as I could detail out the parts I need, use them for masters and and mold and cast them using RTV silicone and resin for the castings for custom model building as a hobby. Thanks in advance for the reply!

Yes we can mill polystyrene. You can check materials compatibility with different machines using Job | Material.
