Nice part...
I noticed in the video you've got the plunge rate for the cutter set really low compared to the horizontal feedrate, so when the machine is ramping down it takes forever and doesn't do the cutter much good as the chipload is tiny. For this job, in the whole scheme of things it's not a big deal, but if you're cutting a harder material it could even cause the tool to break, so get into the habit of setting the plunge rate about the same as the feedrate (maybe a little less) so it doesn't slow down. So long as you don't forget to tell the software to do ramping it will work well.
