Thanks Bob.
I've been trying to figure out the part on facing the first side. The piece is a little big to go on my 4 jaw chuck at this moment. With the M6 screws coming from the front, the screw holes have to be made with deep counterbore so that I can still cut the face while holding it on the flange.
The question remains for me, if the rest of the steps are correct, is, would I be able to drill and counterbore the 3 holes on the PCD accurately enough. At 42mm thick, I have a problem drilling the counterbore. My longest endmill has not more than 25mm length of cut. Also, my current mills can only take up to 10mm diameter shank. So making the counterbore may require boring tool. I'll go source for one if that's the only way to go.
Regards,
Wong
