If you machined that from scratch as your 1st metal part, you either have LOTS of experience with non-metal parts, or you are on your way to machinist stardom, or both !!

Not sure if this is the 'right' place, but... Here is a picture of my first metal part (in brass). Not too impressive compared to what I've seen here...
A gear with a diameter of 50mm cut out of a 1mm brass sheet on a Sherline mill. Used a 2mm endmill and sanded it lightly after milling to remove burrs.
Cutted with about half spindle speed and feed of 60 mm/min. Don't dare to go faster as I have no cooling.

Very nice work! It's a nice feeling when you hold something and think "he, I made that,not a lot of folk oculd have done that".
How did you hold it down during the machining please?
I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
Looks good, it's a sprocket, not a gear though, whats it for?
I doubt if my LAST part will be as nice as that one!
Good Job!!
You spelt "MENTAL" wrong
brass, you've done well. That can be painful at times
Do people use coolant cutting brass? I don't know. I usually don't use coolant myself in materials softer than steel. Anyhow, your part looks great to me. Keep up the good work!
