That's great! The 2 flute mill roughing them out sounds better with the heavy hogging than it does with the light cut on the periphery. No surprise.

Nothing but satellite and dialup here. I tried the space race for 18 months and it left too much to be desired, so I went back to dialup.

Russ, just curious... what is the do-dad sitting under the red bracket on the right side of the table for? 17428

That is the tool setter.  

Once a tool is loaded into the machine, the operator can set the tool length and diameter by pressing a couple of buttons on the control.

He can even load in several tools, tell the control what pocket (in the tool carousel) they are in, press a button, go get a coffee, and by the time he comes back, the machine will have automatically set all the lengths and/or diameters of those tools.

We keep the bracket on when not in use to prevent the setting stylus from taking potential damage should a chunk of holding stock (when face milling), or a loose piece come out of the vise and go flying around inside there.  

Sometime in the near future, I will ask Andrew to get some video of the whole process and post it in this section.
