Yes, I am the founder of the spir@l block. But I wouldnt dare thing of making them on my little CNC mill, Just to much to cut. I have a good friend in a machine shop and we busted them out on saterdays. They take about 18 minutes each on the big cnc mill.

My little machine would take hours.

I was looking at that pic of the mill your looking at getting. I dont see, how in the hell you are going to get a stepper motor on the Z axis. If you look at the pic of the mill that morph got you will see that he has a hand wheel on the top of the machine for a Z axis. Just a thought if you are really wanting to go full CNC.

Just something to think about.
