You just wanted to unleash one of your face mills Is that the F4033.UB.063.Z06.06 that you acquired a few months back?

True. The density of the 6 inserts in a 2-1/2" cutter on a 2HP mill is wasted...unless cutting something like this. With a short-chipping material and easy cutting it went FAST.

Here's what I meant to post but got too tired. I added the radii, drilled and tapped that same day. Yesterday I slotted it as deep as I could go with the the saw setup I have, and used the band saw to get the full depth. I was surprised that it sprung open only 0.002", and when I put a Kantwist clamp on it, moved right back to 1.750" long.



Slotting.



Done.
