Yep, that's just what I was thinking. I'd like to try one of those on my machine.

Ok just for jonathan Here's what 10mm pitch gets you.!!

Johnathan if you want the code your welcome to it, or any body else for that matter. It's a 17mb file thou and over a million lines of code, If I remember correct it took about hour n half.
I did another after that but with the Welsh dragon on the back side but didn't take any pics. . . . Looked good thou.!!

Enjoy and the pics don't show all the detail or do it justice. . . 150mm diameter 10mm Ali plate cut with a 6mm 90deg carbide chamfer/spot drill.

Was amazed when I first saw that - I still am.

Yes please! I've got some aluminium that size so why not...I believe you did it with a 6mm spot drill, 90°? As better excuse than most to finally buy some spot drills I guess.

I agree that 10mm pitch is definitely the way to go if you want good feed-rates.

Ye me too I must have looked at it for days and every time I saw a bit more detail I'd missed.
It's also mesmorizing to watch the toolpath do it's stuff the bloody thing bounce's all over the place, so much so when first started cutting I very nearly stopped it because I thought it had FUBARD.
