Thanks Greg, this is probably the most complicated thing I have milled to date. I really had to stand on my head and hold my mouth just right! LOL, just kidding, but it certainly was a challenge. I've only tried it on small diameter stuff so far, but today I found a piece of unknownium steel that has proof of nasty finish from my normal HSS tooling. It's about 1 1/2"-2" in dia. I will try a cleanup cut on it tomorrow with before and after pic's.

The difficult takes me a while, the impossible takes a little longer.
