    Thanks for the offers. Turns out my CNC Router is happy enough cutting cast iron so I'm just using that now. I'm using a 6mm single flute cutter, as they take about 5 mins to regrind if it's damaged. I've set it to 1mm doc, 70% stepover, 250mm/min at 4000rpm and it seems fine. Going to take an hour to take 3mm off both ends of the bed, which isn't too bad.

    I've made the motor and bearing mounts for the X-axis, so once this bed is milled it should all fit together...
