Update: I took the part to a proper machinist and its taken 4 weeks for the guy to put the radius on the corners, I get it back today and my attempt on my x2 mini mill was better! I think 1 out of the 4 sides is ok the rest he has not got the full radius on and one of them is a mile out its hardly touched it! so frustrated I wasted so much time waiting for the guy to do it let alone the £20 I still got charged.
so back to square one! looks like im going to have to try and do it on my cnc but just use a very small step down and then Finnish it by hand.
so the question is whats the best way to machine it like this? running down the length or short vertical passes?Last edited by charlieuk; 14-11-2017 at 11:51 AM.
