Can a desktop robot arm actually be rigid enough to CNC mill metal?

Discussion & Curiosity

Like the title says. I know there’s an immense amount of lateral force that comes with milling through metal, so if you tried to do it with a robotic manipulator, it would probably have to be massive and heavy to handle the chatter.

But I'm still curious if anyone knows a rigid arm like this.
