Looks like you may need a solid carbide ball mill and an end mill. There are a couple of companies who send me e-mail on a regular basis with special pricing on such things, at least once a week. What size ball mill and what size end mill would you need? I can check the e-mails I got and see if they've got specials.
Also, I check Ebay. You need a carbide TiAlN-coated tool, preferably sub-micron grade carbide. I'm no different than most of you, and certainly not as creatively talented or motivated as most. I just have a few years of using the stuff at work, adding years of reading free trade magazines and other sources to learn more. Nothing I know couldn't be learned easily and free.
Just because you could buy a suitable product for 1/200th of what it cost to make it ourselves has rarely stopped any home shop guy. Why let economic sense get in the way now?
