So Ed, how did it work and feel? The chips look like they barely got hot, so your cutting speed is probably low. You want to get the heat out with the chips, not into the workpiece.
Other than the noise from the bearings or gears, it felt like it was cutting fine. I cranked up the speed as I went along and saw that it was cutting OK. There is a lot of backlash in the screws on my mill. Another project on my long list that needs attention.
