Grasshopper you have snatched the pebble. You have gone so far beyond what I ever did in my Dad's shop. He would be impressed and I certainly am. I'm glad I know a machinist like you. Have a good New Year.
@@lockbuilder for example 1/2" diameter endmill to cut 1" depth (pocket) tool path depth of cut no more then .35" each depth (70%) and step over safe one is 45% of tool diameter, unless you use dynamic toolpath (Mastercam), with dynamic toolpath you can go as deep as the flute of the endmill.
So far so good. I already see a Haas Mini-Mill in my future, but this machine is perfect to get me started. Contact me through my web page and I'd be happy to share $'s info with you. evrardmachineworks.com Best! CE

Thanks Buddy! I'm getting there. I'll never be THERE tho!
Nice job...Chris, Little advice depth of cut should be no more then 70 % of tool diameter.
For each sucessive cut? I thought the rule of thumb was 2X diameter for depth of cut and 25% for width of cut.
