Mike,
Nice score on all. You have a lot of inserts there. I use 1/16" end mills for corners and do come in handy even for bigger jobs. Rule of thumb for machining is "break all corners" sharp corners are high stress points and should have a radius to prevent cracks and also saves hands from being cut by the sharp edge.

Invite me over one day when you plan on using them a lot. I have a tough time seeing me do much with them other than breaking them. Its gotta take some finesse.

Mike,
You have to take it slow for sure. When I got the Sherline mill it was only used one time for some plastic (delron) and the guy broke a bigger end mill and thats how I got the mill because he figured he did not know how to use it. The lathe was still in the box and never used. The same guy is giving me another lathe (CNC 6") for free and I do have to go and pick it up soon. This one has a enclosure with auto tool changer on it. I will invite you over when I have to use it and it could be soon.

Nice collection of inserts there. If you need help sorting through them and/or want to sell some off, let me know. I'm pretty good with carbide inserts...

Now if that isn't the understatement of the century, I don't know what is!
