Good on you David, did someone prompt you to do something about them  :poke:  :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

I'm quite pleased with the milling finish I'm getting , just done one side here...

Yes, someone did!  :wave:

Also, after several days enforced layoff, the weather/ arthritis problems have eased a little today!  ::)

I know it's only T-nuts and I could get away with something much less presentable,

I'm just practicing various methods of milling and finishing,

So don't be thinking I'm a very sad and lonely individual...... :lol:

Nearly finished all the blanks I need, just need to take a smigen off the last one.... :ddb:

They take some making these things, I hadn't realised how much time the milling would take..... :bugeye:


So if anyone says they buy theirs, I won't  :poke: fun, honest....

Believe that and you'll believe anything  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Darren,

You are now going thru the natural progression stage of machining.

You know you can now make the parts to an acceptable level, so you are refining your techniques to produce a more cosmetically acceptable piece.

Roughing and finishing cuts are very acceptable methods of making a part.

There is only one way to go after that, hand finishing and BLING.

That's the one, change spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, listen to the machine, watch it jump around on the table...ooops  :lol:

Getting the "feel" I believe it's called... :)

Finishing is easy, belt sander takes care of that, done in a flash.

After that it's polishing, done a fair bit of that in my time.... :ddb:

It's the actual machining that that I'm behind on, getting there, slowly.... :nrocks:
