    That's a lot less aggressive than 3 flute 8mm ballnose with 1mm DOC and 2m/min I tried! Anyway I've since noticed the plywood router mount I made isn't as tight as I thought which should make a huge difference.

    I think I will look into making it easy to lower the gantry.

    Having said that it's working nicely with woods:

    We got chickens recently, so I made an egg holding device for my Mum for Christmas, hopefully it will go down well:

    I'm certainly pleased with the finish on that.
