    Wanted to reduce my machining time so was faster to have the top and bottom already finished.
    That being said, sometimes one side does have marks on it that won't work for a finsihed product.
    Most of the time it is only on one side so I mill into that side while leaving the pretty face the to outer face that I see.

    What I might be moving towards is bar stock so I can grab it in my vice and not have to glue my stock to a large plate.
    Though I like maching the top and bottom at the same time as there are 4-5 tool changes.

    If I have ATC then that would not be a problem...
