It's nice to see quality workmanship and a craftsmen at work. I only hope I can produce something of this standard when I finally get my Zen mill operational. Please could I ask a few questions which would help a first-timer who's trying to get started? It would be realy helpfull to know what thickness of wood your cutting,the size/type of drill bit and the velocity/speed settings your using in Mach3 (speed of movement along the axes rather than spindle rotation speed). I'm eager to avoid charring the wood or breaking the workpiece / not to mention overheating the spindle or breaking the mill bit/cutter. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing the finished clock. Eastgate
