    Evening all. For anyone interested in milling Aluminium with a hand held router as I have been doing in this build I've made a little (very amateur!) video of the process:

    My setup is a 10mm carbide endmill (and collet) in a dewalt 1/2" router. Using a trend adjustable jig clamped to my bench. Not so much a "how to" as a "it can be done if you're patient!". I couldn't find much on this on YouTube when I looked a year or so ago so thought I'd fill the gap with some shaky phone footage!
