Mouthwatering stuff, Dave!

OK  Right side block is programmed....3 ops , this is the first which is an adaptive clearing to hog out most of the stock, there are a few more pocket operations to clear the crank throw "bays" and the dry sump drains and oil pump mount

Thats a lot of cutting!  Does your machine have  a cooling/lube spray to keep the cutter cool?

Yup  Fogbuster.   Biggest thing is the air to get the chips out

.25 tool,  .093 DOC   0.1 engagement.   Nice and easy   Should be in the 15 to 20 inch/min feedrate I figure...

5 hours in....and nearly done,   I bumped the e stop with the air line.....

no one to blame but me.......

It did nothing other than I'll need to rezero and pick up where I left off.......sigh.....

Dave

[Mike R]

Well, that's rather unfortunate, but the consequences aren't un-recoverable as you say.  Waiting to see the finished part.

[steamer]

Rezero'd, and reset the Z , and it's running...gonna cut some air for a while......but I have plenty of other things to do this weekend,    The "Honey Do" list is strong.....

Dave

[Kim]

Certainly one of those 'DOH" moments 

Had plenty of those myself.  Glad that you were able to recover from it.

Looking forward to the end results!
