Yes pretty flat anyway, yes about the gasket but I am still not 100% sure it will work. I am thinking about using rubber sheet type gasket(if i can find any). I think this stuff might start leaking after time as it is just fiber type stuff.

Yes, I draw the object in ACAD2000 then make my tool path and save as a DXF file. I then load it into the "My T Mill" software using the import DXF file deal and it writes the code. Right after that you have to select "optimize tool path" and then that code is nearly ready to use. I then just copy and paste each path I want to make and change what ever depth of each path. it takes some minor code changes to get it the way you want butit works pretty good.
