    Managed to crack out the back plate for the Z-axis today:

    First fixture




    Second fixture (I actually had two screws in the right side holes as well but took them out before I remembered to take a pic)




    My replacement 10mm roughing bit arrived last week so I got another chance to use it after breaking my previous one with some stupid G-code. It very happily munches away at 14k rpm, 10mm DoC and 1mm axial engagement at 1500mm/min... makes short work of this 20mm plate as it's all done in two passes! Looking forwards to being able to up the feed rates and axial depths on the new machine I hope though.

    Finished part:
