Did you try plunge milling for the roughing out part? It's quicker and a lot easier on the end mill.

Yup, I'm following your videos almost to the 'T'. Plunge milling is so much quicker and easier on the mill and the VFD. The fan on my VFD didn't even come on while I was plunge milling. I do have an auxiliary fan inside the enclosure that runs as long as there's 220VAC turned on to the enclosure so that's what keeps the VFD cooled when I plunge mill.
