That was I believe the general idea, John. I have the next one about 1/3rd done, but the run time is nearly 4 hours as I had to slow it because I could see the bit flexing a few thou. When my back gave out just now I hit the pause button while the bit was at SafeZ, put the spindle controller in manual at zero speed, blew that last passes oil & debris off it, its looking great, and turned off the lights for the night. > BTW, 60 slots with the subroutine is a piece of cake.
