It was bugging me that I couldn't get the 1/16" corner rounding cutter to walk around the angles and big radius, so I went back to the shop after dinner and got 45 minutes of time on it. Success! I also milled the 60mm width at the top to match the bottom part I'd milled earlier, then did a little filing and deburring to see how it cleaned up. I think it's going to be pretty good, though not as perfect as I would have wished.

One question for you, Darren: On the print there's a 10mm wide slot at a 45º angle with 4mm corner radii, from the 38mm counterbore through the wall of the 25mm radius and at the depth of the 38mm counterbore. I think it's just there to give you a place to pry the round black ring off when you need to take it apart. Since I don't have either an 8mm nor 5/16" ball mill, would you be OK with me using a 1/4" ball mill I have? That would leave about a .144" wide flat at the bottom rather than a 2mm one. This OK?
