makes my clock gears look sh1te

outstanding work sir. top of the class

Ive absorbed all your pointers though regarding cutters etc. and just placed an order for some two flute carbide cutters. I also need to think about extraction as combined with fag ash i doubt the mdf is doing my lungs any favours.

also, you come across as a very tidy worker. your workshop looks like an operating theatre and this shows in the quality of your work.

you mentioned modelling board? what is this? As im also still learning im keen to try as many different materials as I can.
I spent £50 on saturday on what is supposed to be Far Eastern Marine ply. but it splinters and frays I think ive just got a bad batch from a bad supplier. But like the look of this material...

Thanks!

This is the stuff:

Polyurethane (PU) 580 Model Board Tooling Block in High Density - Easy Composites

Machines brilliantly although tough on cutters and isn't cheap for what it is. If you need a material that'll give you a super fine finish when sanded, this gives you that.
