Hi Fellas

As well as deeper 2D milling I will also be engraving small metal buckles. As Im not going deep if the work piece is not 100% spot on level then Ill get spots that are missed if its down at one end say.

What tips and tricks do you use for getting your work piece 100% level ?

My buckles are around 24x30mm and at the moment im dropping them into a pocket I machined from aluminium plate. Trouble is, just a tiny missed bit of swarf between the table and Jig or pocket and buckle can be enough to throw it off a smidgen.

I could skim over them before engraving but I pre 'grain' the top prior to engraving.

HHHmm, any thoughts ?

Thank you

Carl
