You know what sucks. It took me all of 5 minutes to come up with that design and another 10 minutes in CAD making the tool path .dxf's for milling it. Can't really say I thought about it for a long time.
What sucks more is this 15 minute from idea to drawing took over 4 hours to mill. My mill did a better job than I thought it would but damn...... I did in the end wear out a drive screw nut and got tons of slop in the Y axis. You can see it in the jet. The bottom is were the endmill plunges and the Y axis was wobbling back and forth.
Got to order some replacment parts toget it back to .003" accuracy it had before. I am pondering getting a better mill. Lot of thinking to do first as I need it to pay for itself.
Anyway I got more pics on how I made this block but I am not going to show them for now. Not that it should be all that hard to figure it out anyway.
