Got another hour & a half in the shop this afternoon to see how far I could get. Pleased to say I'm now just a step away from where I was with the first attempt, the counterbores on the clearance holes for the M6 screws.
The reasons I went with a 1/2" solid carbide was because a) I have two unused ones, and b) longer length of cut per pass it went a LOT faster.

Don't sweat on time Ken. I'm extremely grateful that you are doing this for me. Your family time and commitments should come first though. Please thank the material donor for me when you see them next.
Quick question - what was it that made you switch from the 3/4" insert mill to the 1/2" carbide one? Was it the finish on the original piece or the material?
Thank you!
