Tom, bravo ! Are the parallel marks inside the part made on purpose or due to the multi layer milling ?

Emc2 community, I finally produced my first part on my new Kasuga/Emc2 (Mesa 5i20/7i33) knee mill conversion. I am very happy with the results! The mill will do 500 ipm rapids, and feeds so far can hit 30 ipm with very accurate results. Lots of tiny moves tend to slow the feedrates down a bit, but I have no complaints. See the following video sample of the toolpath being cut for a lightening pocket: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWd29Vv1gcA Here is how I am handling manual tool changes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2whmSV74vw Some more photos of the conversion and the first part to come from it (the part is a heavy duty triple tree for a V8 powered trike - to give you an idea of the scale, the polished fork tube in the following photos is 2" dia.): http://www.foxpointdesign.com/cnc_stuff/conversion_sm.jpg http://www.foxpointdesign.com/cnc_stuff/firstpart2sm.jpg http://www.foxpointdesign.com/cnc_stuff/tripleT-sm.jpg http://www.foxpointdesign.com/cnc_stuff/tripleT-sm.jpg http://www.foxpointdesign.com/cnc_stuff/ttclamp2-sm.jpg The parts are coming out soooo fine. No dwell marks, no backlash comp marks, just nice smooth surfaces. Accuracy is dead-on. I'm really happy right now :-) A hearty thank you to all of you who have taken the time and dedication to post your conversion information (Anders W.), as well as those who wrote the software, made the interface boards, and graciously answered all my questions and put up with my stupidities (Chris R., Peter W., Sebastian, John K., Alex, Kirk, Stephen W.P., et al.) Thank you all!
