Well, it's testing my skills too Ed. 
Remember, the more operations there are on a part, the more opportunities there are to screw it up. And I sometimes do.
The project has been a good (if a bit frustrating) exercise for me to get more familiar with what my Prototrak control can and cannot do. It's getting easier, but the control is still unpredictable as to when it will execute sequential blocks of motion commands without stopping.
Also, working with a European "third angle projection" print intended for a casting has been a valuable learning experience.
I anticipate getting the 16mm reamer on Monday or Tuesday, and hope to finish the last two operations this week. If I get it done I can ship out this part plus the knee elevation screw and nut by week's end.
If I get it shipped, Darren should have the package by the middle of September.
