can't get my CNC mill to go slow enough to go over 1/4" deep without snapping the endmill or causing the stepper motor's to slip the shaft. It's slowest settings are just to fast. If I use the hand wheels and leave the CNC off then I can go pretty deep, but it is sloooooooooooow. I ran a 1/4" deep M channel design out it one pass in Copper once. Took for ever but it did turn out nice. Which reminds me I need to dig that one out.
I suppose it helps to have a 1 HP bridgeport... lol

I wish I had a CNC!
