Hi all,

Here it a project where I milled more than 3/4" plate for a project:

The graphic in your video said you were slightly climb cutting. You were actually climb cutting on the plate you were cutting your part FROM, but you were conventional cutting the actual part.

Hello Mid Day,

Your comment is totally true. When I said "climb" I wanted to describe the milling head going up to let some free material for creating bridges.

But I guess I do not use the proper word for it (English is not my mother language ).

Cool!

How long did it actually take?

One suggestion - I like the sound of the machine cutting, so adding music is a distraction. The machine sound gives you an idea of how things are working.
