Beavermill conversion to CNC

[Andre]

Hello everyone,
Today I started machining the first part of three which the servo motor of the Z axis will hold.
The first part is the base plate which directly on the knee is assembled.
I prepared the pocket to fit the base plate previously.
containing 6 M8 holes and two 8H7 holes for clevis pins to keep everything in place.
I used a piece of aluminum quality 1.6082 T6 ( T6 is the treatment the aluminum received) so it is good for milling.
First I put my vise on the table and aligned it properly .
Than i machined it in the proper order in this case first the bigger side
than I turned it around and put a cylindrical piece between the part and the vise so it will be square and did one small side.
Then I did the facemilling on the second small face also with the cylindrical piece.
and after that the second bigger plane and OK.
After that i took an endmill and did the milling off one side .
