John.

Good work.. was that your first milling test?... what size cutter and feed speeds did you use.

Look forward to seeing more of your work.

cheers

Frans

This is the first "thing" I've created. My first test parts were random squares and circles.

This one turned out much better.

I didn't do any calculation for speeds and feeds I just set the RPM to 3500 and had it at a conservative 1mm per sec.

Hi John,
It looks good! What is the diameter of the disc? My guess is about 3.5 inches?
Best regards,

it's a touch bigger than 1.25 inches.
