That is comforting. I've bumped up against my share of worthless PhDs. There is something about a PhD that causes a person to be unable to function in the normal world.
Anyway.... spent the day making aluminum chips. I've been working with my finish cutter, a Mil-Tec "Freedom Cutter" and have gotten pretty good results. I like the big fly-cutter they have on the Tormach video page simply because it would be able to do my work in one pass, avoiding the multiple 1" wide passes that show up differently because of the change of direction. I'd prefer to pull the part off the mill and not have to use another finishing step before anodizing the part. At least that is my hope..... we shall see.
