Nice test - thanks for showing us! How long did it take to mill it?

It's not only about tools it's also about skills! ;)

I think it was about 45 mins, although not too sure. Can cut the time down a bit but just testing for the moment. And cheers.

Looks great.

a larger Vcutter will help with time and also the over all finish. you can get larger diam V's with 3.125mm shanks. works a lot better than the smaller V's for projects like that. See attached.

Must say - that looks the buiz!
